Servings

  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil I used olive
  • kosher salt to taste

For the avocado Crema

  • 1 avocado ripe
  • ¼ cup sour cream non-fat Greek yogurt, plain
  • lime juice juice of ½ lime
  • kosher salt to taste

For the burger

  • 1 ½ cups power blend greens brand: Mann’s
  • 1 clove garlic minced, large
  • 1 15- ounce black beans drained, canned
  • 1 egg
  • ½ cup bread crumbs gluten free
  • 1 tablespoon sriracha
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper cracked
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil I used olive

Instructions

  1. Begin by caramelizing the onion. Heat a medium saucepan on medium-high. Add oil and onion, then reduce heat to medium. Saute, stirring occasionally, until onion is soft and light golden brown, about 15-20 minutes. Season with salt, remove from heat, and set aside.
  2. While the onion is cooking, prepare the avocado crema. In a food processor, combine avocado, sour cream, lime juice and a pinch of salt. Process until smooth, then set aside.
  3. To make the burgers, sauté Power Blend for 2 minutes until softened. Add minced garlic and stir for 1 more minute, then remove from heat.
  4. In a medium mixing bowl, mash the black beans with a potato masher or food mill. Add sautéed Power Blend, egg, bread crumbs, sriracha, salt and pepper. Stir to combine, then form mixture into 6 patties.
  5. Cook patties in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat, about 5-6 minutes per side, until nicely browned.
  6. Place 1 burger patty on top of 1 green leaf lettuce. Top with a couple spoonful’s of the caramelized onion and a dollop of avocado crema. Wrap burger leaf around the patty, close with a toothpick, and serve.
