Start by pulsing your black beans in the food processor (5-7x) until partially blended but not mashed. You want some chunks of black beans and not a paste.*You can alternatively mash with a potato masher or fork.

Step 2

In a large bowl combine black beans with the rest of the burger ingredients. Mix until combined.

Step 3

Form into 4 large burger patties or 6 smallers patties. Place in fridge for 10 minutes. Meanwhile make burger sauce by mixing all the ingredients in a small bowl. Begin heating olive oil over the stovetop in a large pan or grill pan.

Step 4

Cook black bean burgers in pan or grill pan over medium heat with some olive oil for 5 minutes then flip and cook for another 5 minutes until lightly browned on each side.Alternatively, you can bake your burgers at 400 F. On a parchment lined baking sheet, bake burgers for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through. Burgers should be slightly browned on each side.

Step 5

Arrange burger with romaine, black bean burger burger, red onion, tomato, avocado and burger sauce on top. Enjoy!
