Ingredients

• Black beans - 400 grams (cooked)
• Roasted poblano peppers - 2 medium
• Red onion - 1 small, finely chopped
• Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
• Cilantro - 1/4 cup, chopped
• Cumin - 1 teaspoon
• Chili powder - 1 teaspoon
• Salt - 1/2 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/4 teaspoon
• Breadcrumbs - 1/2 cup
• Egg - 1 large
• Olive oil - 2 tablespoons
• Avocado - 1 medium, sliced
• Lettuce leaves - 4
• Tomato - 1 large, sliced
• Whole wheat burger buns - 2

Steps

1. Preheat the grill or a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
2. In a large bowl, mash the cooked black beans with a fork until mostly smooth, leaving some chunks for texture.
3. Roast the poblano peppers over the flame or in the oven until charred, then place them in a plastic bag for 10 minutes to steam. Peel the skin, remove seeds, and chop finely.
4. Add the chopped roasted poblano, red onion, garlic, cilantro, cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper to the mashed black beans. Mix well.
5. Stir in breadcrumbs and the egg until combined. Form the mixture into two patties.
6. Heat olive oil in the skillet or on the grill. Cook the patties for about 5-6 minutes on each side or until golden brown and heated through.
7. Toast the whole wheat burger buns on the grill or in the skillet until lightly browned.
8. Assemble the burgers by placing a lettuce leaf on the bottom bun, adding the patty, slices of avocado, and tomato. Top with the other half of the bun.
9. Serve immediately with your choice of sides.
