Black Bean Burger Recipe

Black Bean Burger Recipe

These black bean burgers are a meatless wonder—tasteful, filling, and hearty! They are ideal for both vegetarians and burger lovers because they are high in protein, seasoned with smoky spices, and pan-fried to a crispy perfection. For the perfect bite, stuff them full of juicy tomato and creamy avocado.

Ingredients

• 2 cans (15 oz each) black beans, drained and rinsed
• 1 cup breadcrumbs
• ½ cup chopped onion
• ½ cup corn (canned or frozen)
• ¼ cup chopped cilantro
• 1 tbsp chili powder
• 1 tsp cumin
• ½ tsp garlic powder
• ½ tsp salt
• ¼ tsp black pepper
• 1 egg
• 4 whole wheat burger buns
• Lettuce, tomato, and avocado (for serving)

Directions

1. Using a potato masher or fork, mash the black beans in a big bowl, preserving some chunks for texture.
2. Add the egg, salt, pepper, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, breadcrumbs, onion, corn, and cilantro. Stir until all ingredients are combined.
3. Form the mixture into four patties of the same size.
4. A non-stick skillet should be heated to medium heat. If desired, add a tiny bit of oil.
5. The patties should be cooked through and golden brown after 5 to 7 minutes on each side of the skillet.
6. In the same skillet, toast the burger buns for one to two minutes, or until they are just beginning to crisp up.
7. Layer a patty, lettuce, tomato, and avocado on top of each bun to construct your burgers.
