Southwest Black Bean Burgers
- 2 cups cooked black beans
- 1/4 cup minced onion
- 1/4 cup rolled oats (may sub barley oats)
- 1/4 cup salsa
- 1 large egg, beaten
- 2 tablespoons potato flakes (I used cheese flavor)
- 1/4 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 1/4 cup crushed Fritos corn chips
- 1/2 cup frozen corn, thawed
- 1/4 teaspoon cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- Mash beans with the back of a fork to desired consistency (I like to leave some chunks, but the more chunks the more likely they are to fall apart after cooking).
- Add in the remaining ingredients and stir well.
- Form into 6 burgers, separate them with wax paper, and then place in the fridge to cool completely before trying to cook (they will stay together better this way).
- Turn frying pan to med-high (closer to medium than to high) and add 1 T oil. Cook each burger for about 2-3 minutes on each side (turning ONLY once, otherwise you increase the risk of them falling apart).
- NOTE: Feel free to bake these on a greased cookie sheet at 350 degrees for approximately 7 minutes per side or until heated through.
- Serve on a bun with a slice of tomato and some guacamole.
