16 oz can black beans, rinsed and drained completely
1/2 red bell pepper, cut into 2 inch pieces
1/2 cup chopped scallions
1/2 cup corn
3 tbsp chopped cilantro
3 cloves garlic, peeled
1 jumbo egg
1 tbsp cumin
1/4 tsp kosher salt
1 tsp hot sauce, or more to taste
1/2 cup quick oats
Instructions
In a medium bowl, mash beans with a fork until thick and pasty.
In a food processor, finely chop bell pepper, cilantro, onion, and garlic, then add oats, then eggs and spices.
Stir that mixture along with the corn into the mashed beans. If the mixture is too wet, add some more oats.
Divide mixture into four patties and place them onto a flat surface covered with wax paper. Freeze at least 2 hours before cooking or keep frozen until ready to cook.
Heat a skillet over medium heat and coat with non-stick spray. Cook frozen burgers about 7 minutes on each side.
Serve on a bun with your favorite toppings and condiments.
