  • 4

Ingredients

  • 2 (15.5-ounce) cans low-sodium black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1/3 cup dry bread crumbs
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped red onion
  • 1/4 cup chopped cilantro
  • 3 tablespoons canola mayonnaise
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • For the chipotle ketchup:
  • 1/2 cup ketchup
  • 1/2 chipotle in adobo, minced (about 1 tablespoon), or to taste
  • 1 teaspoon lime juice
  • 1 teaspoon honey
  • 1/4 teaspoon chili powder
  • To make the burgers:
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 Hawaiian sweet hamburger rolls, split and toasted

Preparation

Step 1

1 large egg, lightly beaten

To make the burgers:

Make the bean burger patties:

Combine the egg and beans in a large bowl and mash them into chunks with a potato masher or large fork. (All the beans should be broken up, but there should still be pieces visible.) Add the breadcrumbs, onion, cilantro, mayonnaise, and cumin; stir to thoroughly combine. Form into four 1/2-inch-thick patties.

Make the ketchup

: Combine the ketchup, chipotle, lime juice, honey, cumin, and chili powder in a bowl, and set aside.

Heat the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high. Add the patties and cook until crisp and heated through, about 4 minutes per side. Serve on the rolls topped with the chipotle ketchup.
