Instructions

1
For the Burgers: In a large bowl, mash one can of black beans with a fork or potato masher until mostly smooth but still some texture remains. Add the second can of black beans (whole), thawed corn, diced red bell pepper, diced red onion, and minced garlic. Mix well.
2
Stir in the breadcrumbs, beaten egg (or flax egg), chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well combined. The mixture should be firm enough to form patties.
3
Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and form into patties, about 3/4-inch thick. Place the patties on a plate and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to help them firm up and prevent crumbling during cooking.
4
For the Chipotle Mayo: While burgers chill, combine mayonnaise, adobo sauce, and lime juice in a small bowl. Stir until smooth. Taste and adjust adobo sauce for desired smokiness and heat.
5
Heat vegetable oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Once hot, carefully place the black bean patties in the skillet. Cook for 5-7 minutes per side, or until golden brown and heated through. Alternatively, grill on medium heat for 6-8 minutes per side.
6
Assemble the burgers: Spread chipotle mayo on both halves of the toasted hamburger buns. Place a cooked black bean patty on the bottom bun, top with lettuce, tomato, and the other bun half. Serve immediately.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I make these burgers vegan?

Yes, to make them vegan, use a 'flax egg' instead of a chicken egg (1 tbsp ground flaxseed meal mixed with 3 tbsp water, let sit for 5 minutes). Ensure your breadcrumbs are vegan and use a vegan mayonnaise for the chipotle mayo.

What can I do if my burger patties are too soft?

If the mixture is too soft, add a bit more breadcrumbs (1-2 tablespoons at a time) until it reaches a firmer consistency. Chilling the patties thoroughly before cooking also helps them hold their shape better.

How can I store leftover black bean burgers?

Cooked black bean patties can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. Reheat gently in a skillet, oven, or microwave until warmed through.
