Here it is, my wifes Black Bean Chipotle Burger recipe. Enjoy! Black Bean Chipotle Burgers (serves 4) 1 can reduced sodium black beans (rinsed) or 1 ½ cups fresh black beans 1 chipotle Pepper in Adobo, minced 2 tbsp minced fresh cilantro or 1 tbsp dried cilantro 1 tsp ground cumin ¾ tsp freshly ground black pepper 6 roasted garlic cloves (or 2 raw cloves minced) 2 tbsp green chili sauce ½ cup cooked oats 1 ½ cups bread crumbs Mash ¾ of the beans, chipotle, onion, cilantro, cumin, black pepper, garlic, and green chili sauce together until you have a rough paste. Add the remaining black beans to the mixture, there should still be some texture to the beans but the mixture should be mostly smashed. Add the oats. Stir the bread crumbs into the black bean mix and let it sit for about 5 minutes. Press everything together and add more bread crumbs, if necessary, until you have a tight dough. Lightly oil your hands so the dough doesn’t stick when you form it into patties. Create palm –size patties. Spray a skillet with nonstick cooking spray, if needed. Sauté the burgers over medium-high heat until slightly browned on both sides. I like to top mine with a dill pickle and veggie cheddar cheese mmmm tasty!!!
