Method

Patty Preparation

  1. 1

    Mash the Black Beans

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

  2. 2

    Mix Ingredients

    Add the breadcrumbs, chopped onion, minced garlic, ground cumin, chili powder, salt, black pepper, olive oil, and water 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 a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add a little olive oil. Cook the patties for about 5-7 minutes on each side or until they are golden brown.

Assembling the Burger

  1. 5

    Prepare the Rolls

    Slice the whole grain rolls in half and lightly toast them if desired.

  2. 6

    Add the Patties

    Place a cooked black bean patty on the bottom half of each roll.

  3. 7

    Add Toppings

    Top each patty with a lettuce leaf, a slice of tomato, and a few slices of onion.
