Name: Black Bean Burgers
Prep time: 15 min
Cook time: 30 min
Total time: 45 min
Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients: 3 pieces of whole wheat bread; 1 15oz can of black beans (drained!); 1 to 3 canned chipotle peppers in adobo sauce (add a second or third if you like spicy foods); 2 teaspoons of adobo sauce; 2 teaspoons of BBQ tabasco sauce (only if you like spicy foods); 2 teaspoons of cumin; 3 Tablespoons of fresh cilantro (chopped); 2 cloves of garlic (finely chopped); 1 egg (beaten); half a burger bun to place bean burger on

1
Take the 3 pieces of torn whole wheat bread and place them in a food processor. Blend until bread resembles coarse crumbs. Then set aside in a large bowl.
2
Place all other ingredients in a food processor, except bread crumbs and egg. It is hard to mix this in a blender, so use a food processor. Lastly, add the bread crumbs and the egg and mix.
3
Shape into patties. The shaping into patties process will be messy. If the patties aren't holding together at all, you need to add more bread crumbs.
4
Grill on foil first and then directly onto grill. While on foil, close lid and grill/bake for 7 to 8 minutes. Then take off foil and grill each side for 3 minutes. I serve them as an open face sandwich with a slice of tomato, guacamole, and melted cheddar cheese.
