Prep Time 15 minutes
Cook Time 10 minutes
Total Time 25 minutes
Servings 4

Ingredients
  

  • 15 oz Black beans rinsed, drained, and dried
  • 1/2 cup Corn kernels fresh or canned
  • 1/4 cup Fresh cilantro chopped
  • 1/2 cup Rolled oats as a binder
  • 1 Egg or flax egg for vegan option
  • 1 tsp Cumin ground
  • 1 tbsp Olive oil for pan-searing
  • 4 Burger buns toasted
  • 4 leaves Lettuce for garnish
  • 1/2 Red onion thinly sliced
  • 1/2 cup Cherry tomatoes halved
  • 1 Avocado sliced
  • 1 Lime juiced

Instructions
 

  • Rinse the black beans under cold water, then spread them on a paper towel to dry thoroughly to prevent excess moisture in the patties.
  • In a large mixing bowl, lightly mash the dried black beans with a fork, ensuring some beans remain intact for optimal texture.
  • Stir the corn kernels, chopped cilantro, rolled oats, egg, and cumin into the mashed beans until the mixture is cohesive and holds its shape.
  • Divide the bean mixture into 4 equal portions and use your hands to shape them into firm, flat patties.
  • Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  • Place the patties in the skillet and cook for 4 to 5 minutes on each side until nicely browned with a slightly crisp exterior.
  • Assemble the burgers by placing each cooked patty on a toasted bun.
  • Top with lettuce, sliced red onion, halved cherry tomatoes, and sliced avocado drizzled with fresh lime juice.
