Jalapeno Popper Black Bean Burgers

• 4 medium jalapenos, cut in half lengthwise and seeded
• 2 (15 ounce) cans black beans, drained and rinsed
• 2 large eggs
• 5 tablespoons olive oil or 5 tablespoons other vegetable oil
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/8 1/8 teaspoon dried ancho chile powder or 1/8 teaspoon dried chipotle powder
• 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
• 1 red bell pepper, seeded and finely chopped
• 1/4 cup minced cilantro
• 1 shallot, minced
• 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
• 6 ounces cheddar cheese slices
• 6 hamburger buns

1. Heat broiler to high. Place jalapenos, cut side down, on a foil-lined baking sheet and broil until totally blackened, about 10-15 minutes. Cover with the foil immediately upon removing from the oven and let sit for 5 minutes.
2. Remove the skin from the jalapenos and finely chop the flesh. Set aside.
3. Meanwhile, place 2 1/2 cups beans in a large bowl and mash until smooth. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, 1 tbsp oil, cumin, salt and cayenne. Stir together the egg mixture, remaining beans, panko, bell pepper, cilantro and shallot. Mix into the mashed beans.
4. In a small bowl, whisk together the jalapenos and cream cheese.
5. Form the burger mix into 6 patties. Divide the cream cheese mixture among the patties and stuff inside them so that the black bean mixture completely surrounds them.
6. Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat until shimmering. Place 3 patties in the skillet. Cook until browned on both sides, about 4-5 minutes per side. Repeat with remaining oil and patties.
7. Serve warm topped with cheddar cheese on a toasted bun.
