Total Time: 25 Minutes, Servings: 5 Servings

Ingredients :

For the Burger:
• 15 ounce can black beans , drained and rinsed
• 1/2 green bell pepper
• 1/2 small onion
• 2 cloves garlic , peeled
• 1 large egg , beaten (*see note below)
• 2/3 cup whole wheat breadcrumbs
• 1 Tablespoon chili powder
• 1 teaspoon cumin
• salt and freshly ground black pepper , to taste
For the Chipotle Mayo Sauce:
• 1 cup mayonnaise
• 2 chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
• 1 Tablespoon adobo sauce (from a can of chipotle peppers in adobo sauce)
• 2 teaspoons lime juice
• salt and freshly ground black pepper
• hamburger buns
• desired burger toppings: lettuce, tomato, etc.

Instructions :

To make the Burger:
• 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, onion and garlic in a food processor and process until finely minced.
• Transfer mixture to a fine mesh strainer to remove the excess water. (Remove as much moisture as you can--if it's too wet, the burger wont hold together as well.)
• Add the strained vegetable mixture to the bowl with the black beans. Add the chili powder, cumin and salt and pepper and stir to combine.
• Add beaten egg and mix. Stir in bread crumbs. Form mixture into 4 or 5 patties.
At this point you can choose to:
• Grill the burgers on a well oiled grill for about 4-5 minutes on each side.
• Bake them at 375 degrees F on a lightly oiled baking sheet, for 10 minutes on each side.
• Cook them on your stove using a grill pan, for 4-5 minutes on each side.
• Refrigerate them for later.
• Freeze them, covered, in a freezer ziplock bag for a quick weeknight dinner in the future.
For the Chipotle Mayo Sauce:
• Add all the ingredients to a food processor or blender and puree until smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
• Serve burgers on a white or whole wheat bun topped with a spoonful of chipotle mayo, lettuce, tomato, cheese, avocado, or any other desired toppings! Enjoy!
• Serve with one of these healthy side dishes!
