Chipotle Black Bean Burger

This Mexican inspired veggie burger is so delicious and can be made in under 30 minutes! 

Ingredients

  • 2 cans black beans, rinsed, drained well ( 3 cups cooked)
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 teaspoons cumin
  • 2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon coriander
  • ¼ teaspoon chipotle powder, more to taste  (or cayenne)
  • 2 tablespoon olive oil
  • zest from one small lime, 1 tablespoon
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • 1 egg
  • ¼ cup chopped cilantro ( or scallions)
  • ½ cup bread crumbs
 Instructions
  1.  Rinse and drain 2 cans black beans and place in a medium bowl.
  2. Sprinkle with salt and all the spices. Add olive oil, lime zest and lime juice. Mash with a potato masher, until mostly mashed, leaving a little texture, then mix until combined. ( You could also pulse in a food processor). Taste, adjust heat level.
  3. Add the egg, cilantro and the bread crumbs and mix well until combined well.  Let stand 10-15 minutes so the breadcrumbs have a chance to absorb moisture.
  4. Using clean damp hands, form into 4 large patties (or 5 or 6 smaller ones).
  5. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a skillet, over medium heat. Sear each side 5-7 minutes, or until golden and heated all the way through (you want the egg to cook). Place in a warm oven ( if you like) until ready to serve – and feel free to add any melty cheese.
  6. Refrigerate or freeze the seared black bean burgers for later use ( let cool, then wrap tightly in plastic wrap).
  7. To reheat, warm in an oven, toaster oven or on the grill. ( Great for making ahead)
  8. Serve on toasted buns, with chipotle mayo, Mexican slaw and avocado if you like, or over a bed of dressed greens and/ and grains with fresh veggies!

Enjoy!!
