Homemade Cilantro Bean Burgers Recipes

EASY CILANTRO LIME BLACK BEAN BURGERS

Steps:

• In a food processor, process the jalapeño, onion, and garlic until finely ground. (You can finely dice them instead if desired!)
• Add in one can or two cups of black beans, cilantro, lime juice and spices. Pulse until combined (there should still be chunks of black beans.)
• Transfer the mixture to a medium sized mixing bowl.
• Add in the rest of the black beans, egg or flax egg, bread crumbs, and corn and stir until combined.
• Form into burger sized patties. (Sometimes I freeze this for about 15 minutes or so to help them form better into burgers.)
• Grill over medium heat for about 4 minutes on each side.
• You can also cook these in a frying pan over medium heat until browned on each side. Refrigerate leftovers for 5 days or freeze for about 2 months.

CILANTRO BEAN BURGERS WITH CREAMY AVOCADO-LIME SLAW

Steps:

• Combine beans, half the garlic, cumin, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and pepper in a medium bowl. Mash with a fork until all the beans are smashed. Stir in crushed chips (or panko), oats, pumpkin seeds, 2 tablespoons cilantro, and egg.
• Divide the mixture into 4 portions, then shape into patties. Place on a plate and refrigerate for 30 minutes before cooking.
• Meanwhile, combine the remaining 1/2 cup cilantro, the remaining garlic, yogurt, avocado, lime juice, and water in a blender or food processor. Puree until smooth. Transfer to a large bowl. Stir in lime zest and the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt. Add cabbage and toss to combine.
• Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the patties and cook for 6 minutes. Turn them over, reduce heat to medium, cover and cook until golden brown and warmed through, 5 to 6 minutes more. Serve the burgers on buns, topped with 1/4 cup cabbage slaw each. Serve the remaining slaw on the side.
