Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 can (15 oz) Black beans, canned
- 0.5 cup Red onion, finely chopped
- 2 pieces Garlic cloves, minced
- 0.5 cup Breadcrumbs
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Chili powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 medium Avocado, sliced
- 1 large Tomato, sliced
- 4 pieces Lettuce leaves
- 1 tablespoon Lime juice
- 2 tablespoons Cilantro, chopped
Instructions
Drain and rinse the black beans in a colander. Pat them dry with paper towels.
In a large bowl, mash the black beans with a fork, leaving some chunks for texture.
Add the red onion, garlic, breadcrumbs, and egg to the mashed beans. Mix well until combined.
Stir in the cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper.
Form the mixture into four equal-sized patties.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Once the oil is hot, place the patties in the skillet and cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until a crust forms and the patties are heated through.
While the patties are cooking, combine the avocado slices with lime juice and cilantro.
To serve, place a lettuce leaf on a plate as the base.
Top each lettuce leaf with a cooked patty, then add avocado slices and tomato slices.
Optionally, garnish with additional cilantro or lime wedges for a burst of fresh flavor before serving.
