Classic Black Bean Burgers

Ingredients

• 2 cans (15 oz each) black beans, drained and rinsed
• 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
• 1/4 cup finely diced onion
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 egg
• 1 tsp ground cumin
• 1/2 tsp chili powder
• Salt and black pepper, to taste
• 2 tbsp vegetable oil, for cooking
• 4 burger buns
• Lettuce, tomato, and condiments, for serving

Instructions

1. 1Add the black beans to a large bowl and mash with a fork or potato masher, leaving some beans whole for texture.
2. 2Stir in the breadcrumbs, onion, garlic, egg, cumin, and chili powder, and season with salt and pepper.
3. 3Mix until well combined, then shape into 4 patties; if the mixture feels too wet, add a bit more breadcrumbs.
4. 4Heat the oil in a skillet over medium heat and cook the patties for 4 to 5 minutes per side, until a deep golden crust forms and the patties hold together firmly.
5. 5Toast the buns lightly, if desired, then assemble the burgers with lettuce, tomato, and your favorite condiments.
