Burger Ingredients

Method

Burger Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare Flaxseed Mixture

    In a small bowl, mix the flaxseed meal with water and let it sit for about 5 minutes until it becomes gel-like.

  2. 2

    Mash Black Beans

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

  3. 3

    Combine Ingredients

    Add the bread crumbs, chopped onion, chopped bell pepper, minced garlic, cumin, smoked paprika, salt, pepper, and the flaxseed mixture to the mashed beans. Mix thoroughly until combined.

  4. 4

    Form Patties

    Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and form into patties.

  5. 5

    Cook Patties

    Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Cook the patties for about 5-7 minutes on each side, until golden and heated through.

  6. 6

    Assemble Burgers

    Place each patty on a whole wheat bun, top with lettuce, tomato slices, and avocado. Serve with fries on the side.
