I have to thank Reeni at Cinnamon Spice and Everything Nice for posting these delicious burgers. If you haven't gone to see her yet, I can assure you, you're going to be blown away every single time. She always has such mouth watering recipes and pictures.
I loved these flavorful burgers so much, that after making them for my family, I made a double batch, froze them, and I'm already halfway through them. They are smoky, rich and oh so delicious, not to mention healthy! My favorite way to eat them is by topping them with avocado in a wheat bun, mmmm, I'm craving one now as I post! They are creamy and soft on the inside with a delicious crispy crust after being grilled.
When making these for myself, I like the chipotle pepper, it adds a good amount of heat. However, the next time I make these for my family, I'm probably going to leave the peppers out. They will still be just as good with all the other spices. If you like black beans even a little bit, you've got to try these, you won't be sorry!
Chipotle Black Bean Burgers
Created by Reeni and Cinnamon Spice and Everything Nice
Ingredients
1 can Black beans, drained and rinsed, a 1/4 cup of them set aside
1/2 cup green onion
3-4 chipotle peppers in adobo and 1-2 tablespoons of the sauce, smashed into a paste
3/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1 egg beaten
1/3-1/2 cup seasoned bread crumbs
1/4 cup ketchup or barbecue sauce (I did half ketchup, half barbecue, loved it)
1/2 teaspoon Chile powder
1/2 teaspoon cumin
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Directions
Use either a potato masher or food processor to smash black beans. I also threw the chipotle peppers in there, just make sure to chop them coarsely, not until it's a paste.
In a large bowl combine chopped beans and peppers with remaining ingredients, including whole beans. Mix well. Form into four patties, cover in plastic wrap and chill in the fridge for 30 minutes.
Cook on George Foreman grill, or a large skillet, for about five minutes, or until outsides are crisp and cheese is melted. They are most likely too fragile to grill, but neither Reeni or I have tried it like this.
Serve on hamburger bun with desired fixins, avocado, red onion, pickles, etc. MMMmmmm!
