Ingredients for Black Bean Burger

Method

Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare the Black Bean Mixture

    In a bowl, mash the black beans with a fork or potato masher until mostly smooth. Add breadcrumbs, chopped onion, minced garlic, cumin, chili powder, salt, black pepper, and the beaten egg. Mix until well combined.

  2. 2

    Form and Cook the Patties

    Divide the mixture into two equal portions and form each into a patty. Heat a skillet over medium heat and lightly grease it. Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until golden brown and heated through.

  3. 3

    Melt the Cheese

    During the last minute of cooking, place a slice of pepper jack cheese on each patty, cover the skillet, and allow the cheese to melt.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Burger

    Toast the wheat buns if desired. Spread a layer of guacamole on the bottom half of each bun, place the cooked black bean patty with melted cheese on top, followed by fresh spinach, roasted red peppers, and a drizzle of chipotle aioli. Top with the other half of the bun.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Serve immediately and enjoy your flavorful Herbivore burger!
