Ingredients
  • 1 can (15 oz) Canned Black Beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1/4 cup Prepared Salsa
  • 1/4 cup Breadcrumbs
  • 1/2 teaspoon Chili Powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon Cumin
  • 1 Burger Buns
  • To taste Toppings (lettuce, tomato, onion, avocado, etc.)

Prepare the Black Bean Mixture

In a bowl, mash the drained and rinsed black beans with a fork or potato masher until mostly smooth but still slightly chunky. This texture will help bind the burger.

Add Flavor & Binding Agents

Stir in the prepared salsa, breadcrumbs, chili powder, and cumin. Mix well until all ingredients are combined into a cohesive mixture.

Form the Burger Patty

Shape the black bean mixture into a burger patty, about ½ inch thick. If the mixture is too wet, add a little more breadcrumbs.

Cook the Burger

Heat a lightly oiled skillet over medium heat. Cook the veggie burger for 3-4 minutes per side, or until heated through and slightly browned. Alternatively, microwave the burger for 1-2 minutes until hot.

Assemble and Serve

Place the cooked veggie burger on a burger bun and top with your favorite toppings, such as lettuce, tomato, onion, and avocado. Serve immediately.
