Why You’ll Love This Recipe

  • Simple Ingredients: Made with pantry staples like black beans, breadcrumbs, and spices.

  • Quick Preparation: Ready in under 30 minutes.

  • Customizable: Easily adjust spices and add-ins to suit your taste.

  • Healthy Option: Packed with fiber and plant-based protein.

Ingredients

  • 1 can (15 oz) black beans, drained and rinsed

  • ½ cup breadcrumbs (plain or seasoned)

  • 1 small onion, finely chopped

  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin

  • ½ teaspoon chili powder

  • Salt and pepper, to taste

  • 1 large egg (or flax egg for vegan option)

  • Olive oil, for cooking

Instructions

  1. Mash the Beans: In a large bowl, mash the black beans with a fork or potato masher until mostly smooth, leaving some chunks for texture.

  2. Sauté Aromatics: In a skillet over medium heat, sauté the chopped onion in a bit of olive oil until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds until fragrant.

  3. Combine Ingredients: Add the sautéed onion and garlic to the mashed beans. Stir in the breadcrumbs, cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Add the egg and mix until everything is well combined.

  4. Form Patties: Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each into a patty. If the mixture is too sticky, wet your hands slightly to make shaping easier.

  5. Cook the Patties: Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook the patties for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy. Alternatively, grill or bake at 375°F (190°C) for about 20 minutes, flipping halfway through.

  6. Serve: Place the cooked patties on buns and add your favorite toppings such as lettuce, tomato, avocado, or a spicy mayo.

Tips

  • Vegan Option: Replace the egg with a flax egg (1 tablespoon ground flaxseed mixed with 3 tablespoons water, let sit for 5 minutes).

  • Add-ins: Mix in diced jalapeños, corn kernels, or shredded cheese for extra flavor.

  • Storage: Store cooked patties in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a skillet or oven before serving.
