Ingredients
- 1 (15-ounce) can black beans, drained and rinsed
- ½ small red onion, chopped
- 2 large eggs
- 1 small jalapeño, deseeded and chopped
- ¼ cup frozen corn, thawed
- ¼ cup breadcrumbs
- 3 tablespoons chopped cilantro (see Ann’s Tips)
- ½ teaspoon ground cumin
- ¼ teaspoon cayenne, or to taste
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Method
1. Combine the black beans, red onion, and eggs in a food processor. Blend until you have a chunky hummus texture, leaving some large or whole black bean pieces.
2. Transfer the black mean mixture to a bowl and combine with the remaining ingredients. Mix well. Form into 4 patties.
3. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Drop the patties into the pan, do this in batches if you need, so as not to crowd the pan. Cook for 5 minutes, then carefully flip and cook for another 5-7 minutes, or until golden and cooked through. Serve immediately on a bun with smashed avocado, tomato and lettuce.
