Method

Burger Patty Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Black Beans

    Rinse and drain the black beans. In a large bowl, mash the beans with a fork or potato masher until mostly smooth with some chunks remaining.

  2. 2

    Mix the Ingredients

    Add the breadcrumbs, chopped onion, minced garlic, cumin, salt, black pepper, olive oil, and the egg to the mashed black beans. Mix everything together until well combined.

  3. 3

    Form the Patties

    Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape each portion into a patty.

  4. 4

    Cook the Patties

    Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add a little olive oil. Cook the patties for about 5-6 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and heated through.

Spicy Aioli Preparation

  1. 5

    Combine Aioli Ingredients

    In a small bowl, mix together the mayonnaise, Sriracha sauce, lemon juice, and garlic powder until well blended. Adjust the seasoning to taste.

Burger Assembly

  1. 6

    Prepare the Buns

    Toast the burger buns lightly on the skillet or in a toaster.

  2. 7

    Assemble the Burger

    Spread a generous amount of spicy aioli on the bottom half of each bun. Place a lettuce leaf, followed by the black bean patty, sliced avocado, and tomato. Top with the other half of the bun.
