Ingredients

• 400 grams Canned black beans, drained and rinsed
• 50 grams Almond flour
• 50 grams Chopped red onion
• 50 grams Chopped bell pepper
• 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh cilantro
• 1 large Egg
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon Chili powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil

Directions

Step 1

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.

Step 2

Add almond flour, chopped red onion, chopped bell pepper, chopped cilantro, and beaten egg to the mashed beans. Mix the ingredients until well combined.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape each portion into a patty about 1 inch thick.

Step 5

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, gently place the patties in the skillet.

Step 6

Cook each patty for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until a golden-brown crust forms and the patty is heated through.

Step 7

Remove the patties from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to remove excess oil.

Step 8

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.
