Black Bean Guacamole Burgers
Adapted from FitnessBlender.com
Ingredients
1 Can (16 ounce) Black Beans 1 Onion, diced ½ Cup Corn 1 Egg 3 Garlic cloves, minced 1 Tbsp Cumin 1 Tbsp Chili powder ½ Cup Bread crumbs Pepper 4-5 leaves of lettuce OR Whole Wheat Rolls/Buns |
Directions
Drain, rinse, and lightly dry the beans; this is an important step that helps the ingredients stick together. Place them in a large bowl, and use a fork or spoon to mash them into a paste. Add the diced onions and corn (and any other desired veggies, diced) to the mashed black beans. In a separate small bowl, mix the egg and spices together; then stir it into the mashed black bean mixture. The mix is very moist at this point and will not stick together; add the bread crumbs in to make it easier to form into patties. Form into 4 veggie patties and place on a lightly greased sheet. Cook at 375° for 10 minutes on each side. To make this meal extra tasty, make some guacamole (a couple of avacados, some chopped onions, chopped tomatoes, some ground cumin, garlic powder, season salt, and chili powder) and some sweet potato fries. |
