Meatless Monday – Easy Black Bean Burgers
Serve with a tossed salad and baked pita chips for a healthy, fun meal!
Black-Bean Burgers
Serves 4
2 14-oz cans black beans, rinsed and drained
3 Tbsp. mashed avocado
1/2 cup plain dry wholewheat breadcrumbs
2 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp dried oregano, crumbled
1/4 tsp cayenne
1/4 cup finely chopped cilantro
3 Tbsp vegetable oil
4 soft whole wheat hamburger buns
Accompaniments: lettuce, salsa
- Pulse 1 can beans in food processor with avocado, bread crumbs, cumin, oregano, and cayenne until a course puree forms. Transfer to bowl and stir in cilantro and remaining can beans. Form into 4 patties.
- Heat oil in a 12-inch heavy skillet over medium high heat until it simmers. Cook burgers until outsides are crisp and lightly browned, turning once, about 5-minutes total. Serve on buns. Use the mashed avocado, instead of mayo. I also like to grill some red onion and top the burgers with it!
Enjoy!
