Spicy Black Bean Burgers With Chipotle Mayonnaise Recipes

SPICY BLACK BEAN BURGERS WITH CHIPOTLE MAYONNAISE

Steps:

• Combine mayonnaise and chipotle, set aside.
• Dry the beans well after washing, extra moisture will keep the burgers from sticking.
• 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.
• Then stir into mashed beans.
• Divide mixture into four patties (using slightly oiled hands helps) and place them onto a flat surface covered with wax paper. (If it's too wet, chill the mixture 30 minutes in the refrigerator or add another tablespoon of oats)
• Freeze at least 2 hours before cooking or keep frozen until ready to cook.
• Heat a lightly sprayed skillet to medium heat and cook frozen burgers about 7 minutes on each side.
• If grilling, preheat grill over medium heat, and lightly oil a sheet of aluminum foil; grill 7-8 minutes on each side or you can bake in the oven at 375° on a lightly oiled baking sheet.

• Mix all ingredients together in a small bowl. Refrigerate in an airtight container until ready to use.
• Place beans in a small bow and mash with a fork or potato masher. Add egg, bread crumbs, adobo sauce, oregano, cumin, smoked paprika, cayenne (if using), salt and pepper. Mix well.
• Form into one-ounce patties - about 2 tablespoons per patty - by rolling mixture into a ball, packing together firmly, then flattening slightly.
• Add the olive oil to a large saute pan over medium heat. Working in batches so that the burgers aren't too crowded, cook one one side until browned - about 5 minutes, then carefully flip and cook until browned and cooked through, about 10 minutes total.
• Remove patties to a paper-towel-lined plate to drain and cool slightly.
• Put slider buns sliced-side up on a cookie sheet. Add black bean patties to the bottom halves of the buns and top with cheese. Place under oven broiler until cheese has melted and buns are golden brown, about one minute (depending on your broiler - just watch carefully!)
• Remove from oven and slather chipotle mayo on the inside of the bun tops. Top burgers with red onions and pickles, sandwich with the bun top, and secure with a toothpick or skewer. Serve immediately.
