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
