Ingredients
2 cups canned seasoned black beans, drained
1 cup seasoned breadcrumbs
1/4 cup grated onion
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
1 large egg
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
Canola oil, for the pan
4 slices Swiss cheese
1/2 cup mayonnaise
Hot sauce, to taste
4 burger buns, toasted
Lettuce and sliced tomatoes, for topping
Directions
- Using a fork, mash the beans in a medium bowl until they are mushy but still have some whole bean pieces throughout.
- Mix the breadcrumbs, grated onion, chili powder, egg and some salt and pepper into the beans. Add a splash of water if the mixture looks dry. Set aside for 5 minutes.
- Divide the bean mixture into 4 equal balls and form into patties. Preheat a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat and add a few tablespoons of canola oil.
- Cook the burgers until browned, 4 to 5 minutes on each side. Add a slice of Swiss cheese to the top of each burger. Invert a second skillet on top of the first skillet and continue cooking until the cheese is melted, about 2 minutes.
- Combine the mayonnaise and a few shakes of hot sauce in a small bowl. Serve the burgers on the buns with lettuce, tomatoes and the spicy mayonnaise.
