Calorie Estimate: 369 (lettuce wrapped, with sweet potato wedges and aioli)
Ingredients You'll Need
15 ounce can black beans , drained and rinsed
3 mini bell peppers
1 jalapeño pepper
1/2 small onion
2 cloves garlic, peeled
1 large egg, beaten
2/3 cup panko breadcrumbs
paprika to taste
cumin to taste
chili powder to taste
salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Optional:
Hamburger buns/bread of choice
Lettuce
Tomato
Pickles
Mayo
Mustard
Ketchup
Directions
Place rinsed and drained black beans in a bowl. If needed, blot them with a paper towel to remove any extra moisture. Place in a large bowl and mash well with a fork
Place the bell pepper, jalapeño, onion and garlic in a food processor and process until finely minced
Drain any excess liquid from the minced veggies before adding to the mashed beans, because if it's too wet, the burgers won't hold together as well
Combine veggies to beans and add cumin, paprika, chili powder, salt and pepper and mix well
Add beaten egg and mix. Stir in bread crumbs. Form mixture into 4-6 patties
lay patties on a lightly greased baking sheet and cook at 375 for 10 mins. Flip patties and cook another 10 mins
Serve on a bun with toppings/condiments of your choice or as the protein on a salad
Enjoy!
