Ingredients
- 425 grams (1 can, drained and rinsed) cooked black beans
- 60 grams (1/2 cup) panko breadcrumbs
- 1 large egg
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 50 grams (1/4 cup) red onion, finely chopped
- 1 jalapeño, finely chopped
- 15 grams (1/4 cup loosely packed) cilantro, chopped
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 15 milliliters (1 tablespoon) olive oil
- 4 burger buns
- 0 optional toppings (lettuce, tomato, avocado, etc.)
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, mash the black beans with a fork until mostly smooth, leaving some chunks for texture.
Step 2
Add the panko breadcrumbs, egg, minced garlic, red onion, jalapeño, cilantro, ground cumin, smoked paprika, chili powder, salt, and black pepper to the mashed beans. Mix thoroughly until well combined.
Step 3
Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape them into burger patties about 1/2 inch thick. Place them on a plate or tray and refrigerate for 10-15 minutes to firm up.
Step 4
Heat the olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the patties and cook for 4-5 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy on the outside. Flip carefully to prevent breaking.
Step 5
While the patties are cooking, lightly toast the burger buns, if desired.
Step 6
Assemble the burgers by placing the cooked patties on the buns. Add your favorite toppings such as lettuce, tomato, avocado, or any sauce of your choice.
Step 7
Serve immediately and enjoy your Spicy Black Bean Garlic Burgers!
