Equipment
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil divided
- 1/2 medium onion diced (optional)
- 1 medium red pepper deseeded and diced (optional)
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon Stone House Seasoning
- 2 (15-ounce) cans black beans drained and rinsed
- 1/2 cup panko divided
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro or 1 tablespoon dried
- 1 cup grated monterey jack cheese
- Avocado Salsa Recipe optional
Instructions
- Cook the onion and pepper: Drizzle olive oil into a large skillet set over medium heat. Add onion and red pepper and cook until tender, about 3 minutes. Stir in cumin, chili powder, and Stone House Seasoning and cook for another minute. Remove from heat and scrape the onion mixture into a medium mixing bowl.
- Make the black bean burger mixture: Pulse 2 cups of the black beans in a blender until the beans are chopped but not smooth. Add the chopped beans to the onion mixture along with the remainder of the whole beans, the Panko, the egg, cilantro, and cheese. Stir until well combined.
- Form the patties: Scoop into 1/4 cup black bean patties and place onto a parchment lined baking sheet. Repeat until all black bean cakes are formed, about 6. Wrap well with plastic wrap and chill in the freezer for 15 minutes or in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to overnight.
- Cook the burgers: When ready to cook, drizzle olive oil into the large skillet set over medium-high heat. Cook black bean burgers until browned and heated throughout, about 5 minutes per side.
- Assemble and serve: Assemble with avocado salsa or your favorite toppings and serve warm.
