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

Directions

Step 1

Drain and rinse the canned black beans thoroughly. Pat them dry with a paper towel.

Step 2

In a mixing bowl, mash the black beans with a fork or potato masher until mostly smooth, leaving some chunky texture for bite.

Step 3

Finely chop the small onion and garlic cloves. Add them to the mashed black beans.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape them into burger patties.

Step 6

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.

Step 7

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.

Step 8

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.

Step 9

Toast the burger buns lightly if desired. Place a lettuce leaf on the bottom half of each bun.

Step 10

Place the cooked black bean patty on the lettuce, then top with a generous spoonful of mango salsa. Finish with the top bun.

Step 11

Serve immediately and enjoy your Black Bean Burgers with Mango Salsa!
