Method

Burger Patty Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Black Beans

    In a 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, chopped onion, minced garlic, ground cumin, chili powder, salt, black pepper, and egg to the mashed beans. Mix until well combined.

  3. 3

    Form Patties

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

  4. 4

    Cook the Patties

    Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the patties and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown and heated through.

Assembling the Burger

  1. 5

    Toast the Buns

    Optionally, toast the burger buns in the skillet for 1-2 minutes until golden.

  2. 6

    Add Toppings

    Place a lettuce leaf on the bottom half of each bun, followed by a black bean patty, slices of avocado, tomato, and red onion.

  3. 7

    Finish Assembly

    Top with the other half of the bun and serve immediately.
