Ingredients
- 15 oz. can black beans
- 1/3 cup oat flour (gluten-free if needed)
- 1/4 cup salsa
- 1/3 cup cooked sweet corn
- 2-3 Tbsp. diced green chiles (I use mild)
- 3 Tbsp. fresh cilantro (finely chopped)
- 3 green onions (finely sliced)
- 2 tsp. taco seasoning
- 1/4 tsp. salt (more/less to taste)
For serving:
- Vegan Big Mac Sauce (or your own favorite)
- Buns, lettuce/greens, sliced onion, tomato, etc.
Instructions
- Prepare: Rinse and drain the black beans, then pat dry with a towel. Add beans to a large bowl. Mash with a potato masher. (Leave some chunks for texture.) Add the rest of the ingredients and mix well until combined.
- Form: Shape into 3 or 4 patties.* (I make 4 evenly-sized balls, then gently press down with my hands to form a patty, leaving them about 3/4" thick. The mixture can be a little sticky, so very lightly wet your hands to prevent sticking if needed.)
- Refrigerate: Cover patties and refrigerate for at least 20-30 minutes (or several hours) to let the mixture set.
- Bake: When ready to bake, preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or baking mat. Place patties on sheet. (Simply re-form if they lose their shape during transfer.) Bake for 15 minutes. Flip, then bake 15 minutes more. Let cool/rest for 5-10 minutes to firm up even more before serving.
