Ingredients

    1/2 cup flour


    1 small onion, diced


    2 cloves garlic, minced


    1/2 tsp dried oregano


    1 small hot or jalapeno pepper, minced


    1 tbsp olive oil

    1/4 tsp cumin


    1/2 tsp salt


    2 tsp chili powder


    2 tbsp parsley, minced (optional)


Directions

1. On a small plate, set aside flour for coating. In a medium saucepan, sauté the onion, garlic, oregano, and hot peppers in oil on medium-high heat until the onions are translucent. Add the peppers and sauté another 2 minutes, until pepper is tender. Set aside.

2. In a large bowl, mash the black beans with a potato masher or fork. Stir in the vegetables (including the corn), breadcrumbs, cumin, salt, chili powder, and parsley. Mix well. Divide and shape into 6 patties.

3. Lay down each patty in flour, coating each side. Cook on a lightly oiled frying pan on medium-high heat for 5-10 minutes or until browned on both sides.

Makes 6 patties.

    I drained the beans, didn't use the bread crumbs, and ended up using it as burrito filling instead of burgers. It was pretty yummy but next time I am going to not coat in flour and fry. Save on calories and fat and will still be great as burritos with brown rice. - 1/13/09

    At first, the mixture was too soft to make patties. I added the flour into the mix and then it was better. Next time I will drain the beans first. The taste is INCREDIABLE! We put it on buns with a slice of low-fat Jalepeno Jack cheese and slices of avocado. YUMMY!! - 7/17/08

    I made these last night. The flavor was delicious! They did fall apart a little after I cooked them, but I found that refridgerating them for about 15 minutes after I formed them into patties helped in the cooking process. I also think cooking them a little longer than 5-10 helped. - 2/23/09

    Make extra and crumble over mixed greens with salsa and a little avocado for a great salad lunch the next day. :) - 2/25/08

    I love black bean burgers and these are among the best I've tasted. I increased the amoung of bread crumbs to 1/3 cup because I didn't drain the beans and I added just a dash of chipotle chili powder to kick it up an extra notch. Great served on a toasted whole wheat English muffin. - 9/1/08
