Don’s Black Bean Burger

Don’s Black Bean Burger

Tonight’s dinner is my Black Bean Burger, it’s what’s for dinner (Saturday night). Served with a wonderful carrot/butternut squash soup created by Saara Przybylek. I’ll let her share her recipe in the comments.

This is a wonderful faux-burger that does not lack in a great burger bite, or a satisfying meal. This makes 3-4 burgers.

Ingredients

1 can low sodium Bush’s Black Beans – rinsed VERY well and set onto a cookie sheet covered in paper towels for 15 min. to dry

1 egg

1 T all-purpose flour

2 scallions, chopped

3T cilantro (other fresh herbs to taste)

2 cloves garlic, minced

½ t each of cumin and coriander

1 t hot sauce

¼ t each of salt & pepper

¼ cup or ½ oz. of Tortilla chips, chopped to rough meal consistency, I use a bullet.

Directions

Whisk egg and flour, add scallions, herbs, garlic, and spices. In a food processor, chop tortilla chips, add in black beans to combine. This will be a dry consistency.
Combine black bean mixture with herb mixture. Cover and place in refrigerator for an hour or up to 24 hours.

When ready, divide into three patties.

Heat fry pan to medium high heat. Add burgers and drizzle 1 t. Olive Oil into pan. Cook on this side for about 5 minutes. Flip burgers and drizzle around burgers another 1 t. of Olive Oil. Cook an additional 2-3 minutes.

Top with Chipotle Cheddar Cheese, chipotle mayo, lettuce, onion, tomatoes…. Whatever you like on your burgers!
Enjoy.
