Chipotle Black Bean Burgers, Y U M.

Chipotle Black Bean Burgers

I recently within the past couple of years decided that I really, really like black bean burgers. 

Except when I'm actually craving a hamburger--different textures.

Anyways, I've been telling Scott for a while now that I was going to find a recipe that we would like.

 TA-DA.

I'll just have to make them again when he gets back.

But I won't complain. 

 

Four burgers:

* 1 (14.5 oz) can of black beans, drained and rinsed

* 2 Tbs. minced white onion

* 2 cloves garlic, minced

* 1/4 cup chopped almonds

* 1/2 cup corn (can use frozen corn, thawed)

* 1/3 cup chopped cilantro

* 4 Tbs. jarred chipotle spread 

(3 Tbs. for mixture, 1 Tbs. for buns)

* 1 egg

* 4 sliced pepper jack cheese

* 4 onion buns, split and lightly toasted

* mixed greens

* sliced avocado or guacamole

* coarse salt, to taste

{Preheat oven to 425}

In a large bowl, add the beans and lightly mash with a fork. Add the onions, garlic, almonds, corn, cilantro, 2 Tbs. chipotle spread, egg and a small pinch of coarse salt. 

Mix to combine.

Using your hands, equally form the mixture into 4 patties. 

Arrange on a lightly oiled baking sheet and bake for 10 minutes. Carefully flip, add the cheese and bake for 8 to 10 more.

Spread the remaining chipotle spread on the bottom of each toasted bun and serve with greens and avocado slices. 

Or I just used the fresh guacamole that I made yesterday. 

Easy&Delicious.
