Step 1

Rinse and drain 2 cans black beans and place in a medium bowl.

Step 2

Sprinkle with salt and all the spices. Add olive oil, lime zest and lime juice. Mash with a potato masher, until mostly mashed, leaving a little texture, then mix until combined. ( You could also pulse in a food processor). Taste, adjust heat level.

Step 3

At this point you can add ¼-⅓ cup ground flax seed and cilantro, mix well until combined well. Let stand 10-15 minutes so the breadcrumbs or/flax have a chance to absorb moisture.

Step 4

Using clean damp hands, form into 4 large patties (or 5 or 6 smaller ones).

Step 5

Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a skillet, over medium heat. Sear each side 5-7 minutes, or until golden and heated all the way through (you want the egg to cook). Place in a warm oven ( if you like) until ready to serve – and feel free to add any melty cheese.

Step 6

Refrigerate or freeze the seared black bean burgers for later use ( let cool, then wrap tightly in plastic wrap).

Step 7

To reheat, warm in an oven, toaster oven or on the grill. ( Great for making ahead)

Step 8

Serve on toasted buns, with chipotle mayo, Mexican slaw or Curtido and avocado if you like, or over a bed of dressed greens and/ and grains with fresh veggies!
