Ingredients
- 2 15 oz Cans Black Beans rinsed and drained
- 6 scallions
- ¼ cup fresh cilantro
- 1 chipotle pepper from a can of chipotles in adobo sauce
- 1 tsp cumin
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp paprika
- ½ tsp cayenne pepper
- ½ tsp salt
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 2 eggs beaten
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- toasted buns for serving
- guacamole for serving
- jarred red salsa for serving
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. Line a large baking sheet, or two regular sized pans with baking parchment and spread out the black beans. Bake in the oven for 15 minutes until dry and split. Don’t be tempted to skip this step or you’ll be left with mushy burgers!
- In a food processor, blitz together half the beans, cilantro, the scallions, and chipotle pepper until combined.
- Transfer to a large bowl along with the rest of the black beans, the spices, salt, breadcrumbs, eggs, and Worcestershire sauce. Bring everything together into a sticky mixture with your hands.
- Wash your hands and while they’re still wet shape the burgers into 4 patties.
- Grill over a medium heat or cook in an oiled frying pan or cast iron skillet for 5 minutes on each side until golden and heated through. Serve in toasted buns with guacamole and salsa.

Notes
- To make these burgers vegan, swap the eggs for 1/3 cup of mashed sweet potato, and use A1 Steak Sauce - which is actually plant based - in place of the Worcestershire sauce.
- The burgers can be made up to 24 hours ahead and refrigerated.
