Southwest Black Bean Burger
Description
This black bean burger recipe uses canned black beans as a base, combined in a food processor with jalapeño, red bell pepper, chipotle pepper in adobo sauce, and fresh cilantro for a spicy and herbaceous flavor. The bean mixture is seasoned with cumin, chili powder, cayenne, onion powder, and garlic powder to add depth and a smoky edge.
Breadcrumbs are incorporated gradually to achieve a sticky consistency that holds the patties together without being too dense. After chilling, the mixture is formed into four medium patties and cooked in a non-stick pan until the outsides develop a crispy texture while the interior remains tender.
These burgers are versatile to serve on buns or wrapped in lettuce leaves for a low-carb alternative. The smoky chipotle and fresh jalapeño balance the earthiness of the beans for a satisfying vegetarian option.
