Black Bean Burger

Ingredients

• •2 cans black beans, drained and patted dry
• •1/2 cup breadcrumbs
• •1 egg
• •2 tbsp mayonnaise
• •1 tsp cumin
• •1/2 tsp salt
• •2 tbsp vegetable oil
• •4 hamburger buns

Steps

1. 1.Pat the drained black beans dry with paper towels - excess moisture is what makes the patties fall apart.
2. 2.Mash about two-thirds of the beans, leaving the rest whole for texture, then mix in the breadcrumbs, egg, mayonnaise, cumin, and salt - the mayonnaise is what binds the patties without making them mushy.
3. 3.Form into four patties and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes - chilling firms them up so they hold together in the pan instead of crumbling.
4. 4.Cook in oil over medium heat for 4-5 minutes per side until firm and lightly crisp.
5. 5.Serve on buns with your favorite toppings.
