½ cup rolled oats
1 (15 1/2 ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained
1 large egg
1 teaspoon ground cumin
kosher salt
2 ounces finely grated monterey jack pepper cheese (1/2 cup)
1 large scallion, minced
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
1 tablespoon olive oil
4 whole wheat hamburger buns, toasted
1 cup salsa
1 avocado, sliced

1
ut the oats in a food processor and pulse three times to roughly chop.
2
Add half of the beans and pulse into a coarse paste, about 6 pulses.
3
Add the egg, cumin, and 1/2 teaspoons salt and process to mix well, about 1 minute.
4
Transfer the bean mixture to a large bowl.
5
Stir in the remaining beans, the cheese, scallion, and cilantro.

With wet hands, form the bean mixture into four 1/2-inch-thick patties and transfer to a lightly oiled plate.
7
Refrigerate for 10 to 15 minutes to let the burgers set up.
8
Heat a large heavy-duty skillet (preferably cast iron) on high heat until very hot; add the oil and swirl the pan to coat the bottom.
9
Cook the burgers until browned, with a good crust, 2 to 3 minutes; then carefully flip and cook, flipping again if necessary, until the burgers feel firm when pressed with a fingertip, another 3 to 5 minutes.
10
Serve the burgers in the buns, topped with the salsa and avocado.
