Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 425 grams canned black beans
- 120 grams breadcrumbs
- 1 small onion
- 2 garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoons ground cumin
- 1 teaspoons smoked paprika
- 1 egg
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 ripe mango
- 1 red bell pepper
- 0.5 red onion
- 15 grams fresh cilantro
- 1 lime
- 1 jalapeño (optional)
- 4 burger buns
- 4 leaves lettuce
Instructions
Drain and rinse the canned black beans thoroughly. Pat them dry with a paper towel.
In a mixing bowl, mash the black beans with a fork or potato masher until mostly smooth, leaving some chunky texture for bite.
Finely chop the small onion and garlic cloves. Add them to the mashed black beans.
Mix in the breadcrumbs, ground cumin, smoked paprika, egg, salt, and black pepper. Stir until the mixture is well combined and holds together when pressed.
Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape them into burger patties.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook the patties for 4-5 minutes on each side or until crisp and heated through. Add the remaining olive oil as needed.
While the patties cook, prepare the mango salsa. Peel and dice the mango, red bell pepper, and red onion. Finely chop the fresh cilantro. Mince the jalapeño if using.
Combine the mango, red bell pepper, red onion, cilantro, and jalapeño in a bowl. Squeeze the juice of the lime over the mixture and toss gently to combine.
Toast the burger buns lightly if desired. Place a lettuce leaf on the bottom half of each bun.
Place the cooked black bean patty on the lettuce, then top with a generous spoonful of mango salsa. Finish with the top bun.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Black Bean Burgers with Mango Salsa!
