Ingredients

  • 15 oz black bean, 1 can, drained, rinsed
  • 1/2 cup brown rice, cooked
  • 1 cup corn
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 egg
  • salt, to taste
  • black pepper, to taste
  • 1/3 cup seasoned bread crumbs
  • canola oil
  • 4 slices pepper jack cheese
  • tomato
  • red onion
  • avocado
  • pico de gallo

Preparation

Step 1

In a large bowl, add black beans, rice, corn, seasonings, and egg. Using a potato masher, mash the ingredients until thoroughly mixed together.
Once mashed, add the bread crumbs and mix to combine.
Take a quarter of the mixture and shape it into a patty using your hands. Repeat with the remaining mixture to create four patties.
In a pan, heat a small amount of oil over medium heat. Add the patties and cook for 4-5 minutes, flip, top with a slice of pepper jack, and cook for another 4-5 minutes.
Place patties on buns, and top with sliced tomato, red onion, avocado, and fresh salsa.
Enjoy!
