• For the Burgers
• 16 ounces black beans, rinsed
• 1 cup green bell peppers or 1 cup red bell pepper, chopped
• 3 garlic cloves, minced
• 2 tablespoons red onions, chopped
• 1 teaspoon cumin
• 1 teaspoon chili powder
• 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
• 1/4 cup minced cilantro
• 1 egg
• 3/4 - 1 cup panko breadcrumbs (enough to hold together)
• salt and pepper

• For the Sauce

1. For the sauce: Combine yogurt, Sriracha and cilantro. Set aside.
2. Add to a food processor the black beans, green peppers, garlic cloves, and red onion. Pulse until pureed. I prefer to leave a few semi-whole beans. Transfer to a medium sized bowl.
3. Add the egg and mix well.
4. Add to the bean mixture: the cumin, chili powder, onion powder, cilantro, salt and pepper. Mix thoroughly. Add the panko and mix to combine.
5. Preheat grill pan or skillet on medium-high heat.
6. Form patties and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side. Transfer to rolls and top with Sriracha sauce and toppings, if desired.
