Burger Patties

Toppings

Method

Preparing the Patties

  1. 1

    Mash the Black Beans

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

  2. 2

    Mix Ingredients

    Add breadcrumbs, ground cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, olive oil, and the egg to the mashed beans. Mix until well combined.

  3. 3

    Form Patties

    Divide the mixture into 4 equal parts and form each part into a patty, about 1/2 inch thick.

  4. 4

    Cook the Patties

    In a skillet over medium heat, add a little olive oil. Cook each patty for about 4-5 minutes on each side, until golden brown.

Assembling the Burger

  1. 5

    Prepare the Toppings

    Wash the romaine lettuce leaves and set aside. Slice the tomato and avocado.

  2. 6

    Build the Burger

    On a plate, start with a romaine leaf as the base. Place a black bean patty on top, add a generous scoop of roasted corn hummus, followed by slices of tomato and avocado.

  3. 7

    Finish with Sauce

    Drizzle harissa aioli over the top for a spicy kick. Top with another romaine leaf or serve as an open-faced burger.
