Black Bean Burgers
Serves 4 to 6
Ingredients :
- 1/2 onion (chopped small)
- 2 cups black beans (well-drained)
- 1 cup of Tortilla Chips (crumbled)
- ½ cup of salsa
- 1/2 teaspoon seasoned salt
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 cup flour
- Dash salt (or to taste)
- Dash pepper (or to taste)
Directions:
- To a small frying pan over medium-high heat, add just enough oil to grease the bottom. Add the onions and sauté them until they are soft, about 3 to 5 minutes.
- In a large bowl, mash the beans until almost smooth.
- Add the sautéed onions to the mashed black beans, along with the crumbled tortilla chips, salsa, seasoned salt, garlic powder, and onion powder, mixing to combine well
- Add the flour a few tablespoons at a time and mix to combine well. Your veggie burger mixture will be very thick (you may want to use your hands to work the flour in well).
- Form the black bean mixture into individual patties, approximately 1/2 inch thick. The best way to do this is to roll a handful into a ball, then gently flatten it.
- Drizzle oil olive on patties and bake at 325 f degrees for approximately 7 to 8 minutes
Chef’s Tip:
- Add corn, diced peppers, cilantro, jalapenos or any other desired ingredients
