Preparation
1
Rinse and thoroughly drain the canned black beans. In a large bowl, mash the black beans with a fork or potato masher, leaving some beans partially whole for texture.
2
Finely chop the onion and mince the garlic cloves. Add the chopped onion, minced garlic, rolled oats, ground cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper to the mashed black beans.
3
Mix all the ingredients together until well combined and the mixture is firm enough to form patties. You might need to use your hands to ensure everything is evenly incorporated.
4
Divide the mixture into two equal portions and shape them into burger patties, about 1-inch thick. Make sure they are compact so they don't fall apart when cooked.
5
Heat the olive oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat.
6
Carefully place the black bean patties in the hot pan. Cook for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and heated through.
7
While the patties are cooking, slice the whole wheat burger buns. Wash the lettuce leaves, slice the tomato, and thinly slice the red onion for toppings.
8
Assemble your burgers: place a cooked black bean patty on the bottom half of each bun, then layer with lettuce, tomato, and red onion slices. Top with the other half of the bun and serve immediately.
