Ingredients
Scale
- 1 T. olive oil
- 1 15-oz. can black beans, rinsed and drained
- 2 scallions, finely sliced
- 1/2 c. frozen corn, defrosted
- 1/4 c. chunky salsa, prepared or homemade,
- 2 T. BBQ sauce
- 1 t. smoked paprika
- 1 t. garlic powder
- 1/4 c. fresh cilantro, roughly chopped
- 7–9 T. plain breadcrumbs
- 4 hamburger buns
Instructions
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Add one-half beans into a large bowl and lightly mash using a potato masher – leave the mixture a bit chunky and not too smooth. Add the remaining beans.
- Add the scallions, corn, salsa, BBQ sauce, paprika, garlic powder, and cilantro. Mix well and season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Stir in the breadcrumbs, starting with 7 tablespoons and mix well. If needed, add an additional 1-2 tablespoons of breadcrumbs, until the mixture is firm enough to form into burger patties.
- Form 4 burger patties and shape them using lightly wet hands. Pan fry in the hot oil until golden-brown and slightly crisp on both sides, approximately 4-5 minutes per side.
- Layer the black bean patties onto hamburger buns and top with your favorite toppings. Enjoy!
