Place the drained and rinsed black beans in a large mixing bowl. Using a fork or potato masher, mash the beans until mostly smooth with some chunks remaining for texture.
Add almond flour, chopped red onion, chopped bell pepper, chopped cilantro, and beaten egg to the mashed beans. Mix the ingredients until well combined.
Season the mixture with garlic powder, ground cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir until all the spices are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape each portion into a patty about 1 inch thick.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, gently place the patties in the skillet.
Cook each patty for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until a golden-brown crust forms and the patty is heated through.
Remove the patties from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to remove excess oil.
Serve the black bean burgers on a lettuce wrap or low-carb bun with your favorite toppings such as avocado, tomato slices, or additional cilantro.
