Ingredients

  • 1/2 medium yellow onion, roughly chopped
  • 1 tablespoon chopped garlic
  • 2 (15-ounce) cans black beans, rinsed and drained, divided
  • 2 tablespoons freshly chopped cilantro leaves
  • 2 teaspoons freshly chopped parsley leaves
  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 1/2 cup bread crumbs
  • Salt and fresh ground black pepper
  • 4 hamburger rolls

Optional Toppings:

  • 1 tomato, sliced
  • 4 small Romaine lettuce leaves, or any other type you have on hand
  • 1/4 cup ketchup

Directions

Heat a grill or grill pan over medium-low heat.

In a food processor, pulse onion and garlic until finely chopped. Add 1 can black beans, cilantro, parsley, egg, and red pepper flakes and pulse to combine.

Transfer mixture to a large mixing bowl, add the remaining can of black beans and the bread crumbs. Season with salt and pepper, to taste, and mix until well combined.

Reserve 1/3 of the black bean mixture for Round 2 Recipe. Divide remaining mixture into 4 portions and form into patties. Place on hot oiled grill over medium-low heat and cook about 6 minutes a side or until heated through. Toast hamburger buns on a grill. Place a burger on the bottom of each bun. Top with lettuce, tomato and ketchup. Cover the burgers with the top of the bun and serve.

Use the leftovers from this recipe in Black Bean Enchiladas.

    Love this burger. It is so easy! I have made it 3 times now. For the toppings, we melt a small amount of mexican cheese blend on top, put some guacamole, and believe it or not, a little bit of mayo. Everyone in the family agreed that those toppings (which we didn't do the first time made it a tasty burger!

    These were easy, inexpensive, and delicious! Even my "meat and potatoes" boyfriend thought they were delicious! I used dried cilantro and panko bread crumbs because I had them on hand, and my burgers turned out wonderfully! I also added a little cumin, a slice of colby-jack cheese to the bun, and pan cooked the burgers. The consistency was a little difficult to work with (they didn't want to stick together at first, but I will try refrigerating before making patties next time as someone suggested. Definitely a "keeper" recipe!

    This recipe's easiness/cheapness is fantastic. The burgers tasted delicious as well. I will definitely make this again, and I am excited to do the enchiladas this afternoon....Im sure those will be yummy as well! The consistency of the burgers was a tad annoying, they tend to want to crumble and break. But other than that they are quick, easy, and delicious!
