Ingredients




1 small onion chopped
2 cloves of garlic
29 ounces can of black beans, rinsed and drained
zest and juice of one lime

3 tablespoons (small bunch) of cilantro leaves
1 egg
1/2 cup of breadcrumbs (less to taste)
Sliced plum tomatoes

dollops of sour cream

Whole Wheat Buns

Preparation

1 In your food processor, add your onion and garlic. Pulse until minced. Then add black beans, lime zest, lime juice and cilantro. Pulse until smooth. 2 In a bowl, add the bean mixture, one egg and breadcrumbs. Mix until the egg and breadcrumbs are incorporated. 3 With wet hands, form the black bean burger mix into patties. You can get 6-8 out of this mixture, I happened to make 7.  Heat up your grill pan and add a drizzle of light olive oil. When the pan is hot, grill  each patty until its crispy on both sides. These are delicate burgers so be careful when flipping. 4 Toast your Whole Wheat Buns. Add your burger to the bun and top it off with a couple of slices of tomato, a dollop of sour cream and some cilantro. Enjoy!
