Ingredients

• 2 cups cooked black beans
• 0.5 cup almond flour
• 2 tablespoons flaxseed meal
• 6 tablespoons water
• 0.5 cup red onion, finely chopped
• 0.5 cup red bell pepper, finely chopped
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 0.5 teaspoon coriander
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons olive oil

Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl, combine the flaxseed meal and water. Stir well and let it sit for about 5 minutes to thicken.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, add the cooked black beans and mash them using a fork or potato masher until mostly smooth, leaving some beans slightly intact for texture.

Step 3

Add the almond flour, thickened flaxseed mixture, chopped red onion, chopped red bell pepper, minced garlic, ground cumin, coriander, salt, and black pepper to the mashed beans.

Step 4

Mix all the ingredients together until well combined. The mixture should hold together when formed into patties.

Step 5

Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each portion into a patty about 1 inch thick.

Step 6

Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil.

Step 7

Once the oil is hot, carefully place the patties in the skillet. Cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until they are browned and crispy.

Step 8

Remove the patties from the skillet and serve hot with your choice of paleo-friendly sauces or toppings such as lettuce wraps, avocado slices, or salsa.
