Southwest Black Bean Burger

A zingy southwestern take on a summer classic. Be sure to take this one with you on your next picnic.

½ yellow onion, chopped
½ jalapeno, seeded and chopped
3 cloves garlic
1 (14.5 oz) can black beans, drained
10 tbsp rolled oats
½ cup frozen corn
1 tbsp fresh cilantro, minced
2 tsp ground cumin
½ tsp curry powder
¼ tsp cayenne pepper
¼ cup breadcrumbs
½ tsp salt, or more to taste

1

Place the onion, jalapeno, and garlic in a food processor and pulse 5-6 times.

2

Add the beans, oats, corn, cilantro, cumin, curry powder, and cayenne, season to taste with salt, and pulse 8 times. Scrape down the sides of the food processor and pulse an addition 5-8 times, depending on your desired texture.

3

Drizzle a teaspoon of oil into a skillet and heat to medium.

4

Form the burger mixture into 4 equal patties. Cook the patties for 5-7 minutes on each side, or until a crust develops and the patties are heated through.

5

Remove the patties from the heat and place onto burger buns. Assemble the burger with toppings and condiments of your choice.
