Ingredients
The Burgers:
- 1 tablespoon + 1 teaspoon canola oil divided
- ½ medium onion chopped
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 medium chipotle pepper seeded & minced
- ¾ tablespoon ground cumin
- ¼ tablespoon kosher salt
- ¼ tablespoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 cup canned black beans drained and rinsed
- 1 cup cooked brown rice
- 1 ½ tablespoons fresh lime juice
- 3 tablespoons panko breadcrumbs
- 3 tablespoons minced cilantro
The Sauce:
- 1 California avocado chopped
- ¼ cup minced cilantro
- 2 tablespoons nonfat plain Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- ½ small chipotle pepper seeded & minced
- ⅛ teaspoon salt
- 8 whole wheat dinner rolls but in half
- 2 roma tomatoes sliced
Instructions
The Burgers:
- Heat 1 teaspoon olive oil in a medium skillet set over medium heat. Add onion and sauté until soft. Add garlic, chipotle pepper, cumin, salt and pepper. Saute for additional 2 minutes.
- Scrape the mixture into the food processor. Add black beans, brown rice and lime juice. Pulse until the beans are chopped, but not pureed.
- Scrape the black bean mixture into a large bowl. Add the breadcrumbs and the cilantro. Stir the mixture until combined.
- Divide the mixture into 8 equal portions (about ¼ cup each) and form into patties. If the mixture is too moist to form patties, add more breadcrumbs.
- Place the patties on a baking sheet lined with plastic wrap and cover with additional plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
- Heat 1 tablespoon canola oil in a large skillet (preferably not nonstick, so a good crust can form) set over medium heat. Add the patties and cook for 3 minutes per side. If the skillet is not large enough to fit all of the patties, cook them in two batches.
The Sauce:
- While the patties are resting in the fridge, make the sauce.
- In the bowl of a food processor, combine the avocado, cilantro, yogurt, lime juice, olive oil, chipotle pepper and salt. Puree until smooth.
Assembling:
- Divide the avocado sauce between the rolls (about 1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon sauce per roll). Top each with one black bean patty and one slice of tomato. Serve.
