Toppings

Method

Burger Patty Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Black Beans

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

  2. 2

    Combine Ingredients

    Add the finely chopped onion, minced garlic, breadcrumbs, cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper to the mashed black beans. Mix until all ingredients are well combined.

  3. 3

    Form Patties

    Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape them into burger patties. If the mixture is too wet, add a bit more breadcrumbs.

  4. 4

    Cook the Patties

    Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook each patty for about 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown and heated through.

Chipotle Aioli Preparation

  1. 5

    Mix the Aioli

    In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, minced chipotle peppers, lime juice, garlic powder, and salt. Stir until smooth and well blended.

Assembly

  1. 6

    Prepare the Buns

    Toast the burger buns lightly if desired.

  2. 7

    Assemble the Burger

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