How to Make Black Bean Burger With Sriracha Sauce

  1. **Make the Sriracha Sauce:** In a small bowl, combine 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt, 1-2 tablespoons sriracha (adjust to your spice preference), and 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro. Set aside.
  2. **Prepare the Black Bean Mixture:** Add 1 (15-ounce) can black beans (rinsed and drained), 1/2 cup chopped green bell pepper, 2 cloves garlic (minced), and 1/4 cup chopped red onion to a food processor.
  3. **Pulse until mostly pureed:** Pulse until the mixture is mostly pureed, leaving some beans slightly chunky for texture.
  4. **Transfer to a bowl:** Transfer the mixture to a medium-sized bowl.
  5. **Add wet ingredients:** Add 1 large egg and mix well to combine.
  6. **Add dry ingredients:** Stir in 1 teaspoon ground cumin, 1/2 teaspoon chili powder, 1/2 teaspoon onion powder, 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
  7. **Bind with panko:** Gently fold in 1/2 cup panko bread crumbs until just combined.
  8. **Form patties:** Shape the mixture into 4 patties, about 1/2 inch thick.
  9. **Cook the patties:** Preheat a grill pan or large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for 3-4 minutes per side, or until heated through and slightly browned.
  10. **Assemble the burgers:** Serve the black bean patties on your favorite buns. Top with the sriracha sauce and your favorite toppings (lettuce, tomato, avocado, etc.).
