This black bean burger recipe is, so far, the best I have ever tasted. It is better than the famous box brands. This recipe uses fresh ingredients for the most part, but, all can be fresh if you cook your own black beans in place of using the canned. The one tip that I can give about this recipe is to be sure the beans drain at least 20 minutes to avoid having “too moist” burgers. I have only cooked these on the stove in a skillet, but I’m most certain that these will taste just as good on the grill or oven. This recipe can also be used by anyone who just wants a break from meat, but also wants a delicious alternative to meat. This recipe is a five star in my household.

Black Bean Burger Recipe

Ingredients Makes 6- 3 1/2″ wide patties

• 2- 15oz cans black beans, rinsed and drained (reserve 6 TBSP of the liquid)
• 2 TBSP All-Purpose flour
• 4 scallions, minced
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 tsp ground cumin
• 1 tsp hot sauce (opt)
• 1/2 tsp ground coriander
• 1/4 tsp salt & pepper-each
• 1- ounce tortilla chips, crushed (roughly 1/2 cup)
• 1/4 cup olive oil (any high heat oil or spray)
• 6 burger buns

Directions to make patties

Be sure beans are rinsed and well drained and allow them to sit in the colander for 30 minutes.

Whisk reserved bean liquid and flour in a large bowl until well combined and smooth. Stir in scallions, salt, and pepper until combined. Process tortilla chips in food processor until finely ground. Add beans and pulse until beans are coarsely ground (about 5 pulses). Transfer bean mixture to bowl with flour mixture and mix well.

Divide mixture into six portions having 6 firmly packed patties. Heat 1 TBSP oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Lay 3 patties in skillet and cook for 5 minutes, or until browned. Flip and repeat the process (including the oil) prior to cooking the other side.

To keep patties warm while cooking the remaining patties, adjust oven rack to middle position and heat to 200 degrees. Place cooked patties on a rimmed baking sheet in the oven to keep warm.

**Cooked patties should not be mushy or fall apart**
