Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 can (15 oz) black beans
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 0.5 medium onion
- 2 garlic cloves
- 0.5 cup breadcrumbs
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 burger buns
- 4 lettuce leaves
- 1 large tomato
- 4 slices sliced cheese
- 4 tablespoons ketchup
- 4 tablespoons mayonnaise
Instructions
Drain and rinse the black beans thoroughly and place them in a large mixing bowl.
Using a fork or potato masher, mash the black beans until they are mostly smooth with just a few chunks remaining.
Finely chop the onion and mince the garlic cloves.
In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat and sauté the onion and garlic until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes.
Add the sautéed onion and garlic to the mashed beans.
Mix in the breadcrumbs, egg, chili powder, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Stir until the mixture holds together.
Divide the bean mixture into four equal parts and form them into patties.
In the same skillet, add a little more oil if necessary and cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side, until they are golden and heated through.
While the patties cook, slice the tomato into four thick slices.
Toast the burger buns to your liking.
Assemble the burgers: spread 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise and 1 tablespoon of ketchup on the bottom half of each bun, place a lettuce leaf on top, followed by a bean patty, a cheese slice, a tomato slice, and then cover with the top half of the bun.
Serve immediately and enjoy your tasty vegetarian burger!
