Cilantro Black Bean Burger


My husband's specialty dish. The Cilantro Black Bean Burgers are easy to make, wonderfully flavorful, and deliciously nutritious. The recipe makes 4 patties.

Burgers

  • 1 can black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 2 tbsp mayonnaise (We use Veganaise to make this dish vegan)
  • 1/4 cup fresh finely chopped cilantro, tightly packed
  • 2 tbsp bread crumbs
  • 1/2 tsp cumin
  • black pepper and salt to taste
  • cooking spray
  • flour

Fixings

  • rolls or pitas
  • medium salsa
  • cucumbers
  • tomatoes
  • lettuce
  • veggie cheese

Combine beans with mayonaisse and mash them with a fork until the mixture is smooth. Add cilantro, bread crumbs, cumin, salt, and pepper. Mix everything well.

Spray a frying pan with cooking spray and heat it on medium. Form 4 patties with floured hands. Fry them for 3 minutes on each side. Be careful when flipping the burgers onto the other side. They get a little bit messy.

Assemble burgers on a piece of bread. Serve with salsa, cucumbers, tomatoes, lettuce, and veggie cheese. Enjoy!
