Burger Ingredients

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Black Bean Mixture

    In a large bowl, mash the black beans with a fork or potato masher, leaving some chunks for texture. Stir in the bread crumbs, pepper jack cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

  2. 2

    Form the Patties

    Divide the mixture into equal portions and shape them into burger patties.

  3. 3

    Cook the Patties

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

  4. 4

    Assemble the Burger

    Toast the burger buns if desired. Spread mayonnaise and mustard on the bottom half of the bun. Place the patty on top, followed by sliced avocado, lettuce, and tomato. Drizzle with BBQ molasses sauce and top with the other half of the bun.
