Spicy Homemade Black Bean Burgers

Spicy Black Bean Burgers

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil. Place drained black beans on a paper towel. Spread out and place another paper towel on top to absorb as much moisture as possible.

Meanwhile, heat oil over medium heat in large saute pan. Add corn, bell pepper, onions and garlic. Cook, stirring occasionally until vegetables are tender, about 10 minutes.

Once softened, turn heat to medium-high and cook additional 2-3 minutes until vegetables start to brown (not burn!). Remove and set aside.

Place black beans in food processor and pulse until thick, yet still somewhat chunky. Transfer to a large mixing bowl.

Place rolled oats in the food processor and pulse until they resemble a fine crumb. Add to bowl with the black beans.

Add to your bowl: sauteed veggies, paprika, chili powder, cayenne pepper (if using), Texas Pete® Original Hot Sauce and egg. Stir well to combine (I like mixing with my hands!)

Form into 6 equal patties and place on prepared baking sheet. Cook 10 minutes, flip over, and cook another 10 minutes.

Avocado Mayo

Combine all ingredients in food processor. Pulse until smooth and creamy. Transfer to air tight container or jar. Store in refrigerator.

Serve Black Bean Burgers

Serve burgers on a sesame seed bun with optional toppings, in a wrap, or over a salad.
