Burger Ingredients

Method

Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare the Beans

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

  2. 2

    Mix Ingredients

    Add the bread crumbs, chopped onion, minced garlic, cumin, chili powder, salt, black pepper, and egg to the mashed beans. Mix until well combined.

  3. 3

    Form Patties

    Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each portion into a patty.

  4. 4

    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.

  5. 5

    Assemble the Burger

    Toast the burger buns if desired. Place a patty on each bun and top with lettuce, tomato slices, and avocado slices.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Serve the black bean burgers immediately with your choice of condiments.
