Ingredients
- 2 cans black beans , drained and rinsed
- 1 onion medium, finely diced
- 2 garlic cloves minced
- 2 Tbsp cilantro chopped
- 1 Jalapeño small, cored, seeded, and diced

Pico de Gallo
- 3 roma tomatoes diced
- 1 onion small, diced
- 1 Jalapeño cored, seeded and diced
- 2 Tbsp cilantro chopped
- 1 tsp red wine vinegar
- ¼ tsp chili powder
- 1 tsp lime juice
- 1 dash sugar
Instructions
- To make the "burgers": In a food processor, place beans, onion, garlic, cilantro and jalapeno. Pulse a few times until you have a thick dough-like texture. Add in the cumin, chili powder, allspice, egg,(aquafaba) and chickpea flour and pulse again until well mixed, but you want to have a chunky texture, not a puree. Place mixture in a bowl and chill for about 20 minutes.
- Shape into 4 patties. Place the patties on a place and refrigerate for 30-45 minutes to allow them to firm up. ( Resting time.)
- While the patties are resting make the pico de gallo. Place all ingredients in a bowl and mix. Refrigerate until ready to use.
- Once the patties are firm and ready, remove them from the refrigerator. Heat olive oil ( enough to cover the bottom of the pan) in a non-stick skillet and quickly pan fry for about 5 minutes on each side.
- Serve on a bun or greens and top with pico de gallo.
