How to Make Southwestern Burger
- Mash 1 (15-ounce) can black beans with a fork in a small bowl.
- Add 1/2 cup finely chopped onion, 1-2 finely chopped jalapeño peppers (remove seeds for less heat), and 1 teaspoon ground cumin.
- Mix well to combine.
- In a large bowl, combine 1 pound extra-lean ground beef (at least 90% lean) with the black bean mixture.
- Add 1/4 cup your favorite low-sodium salsa, 1 egg white, and 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro.
- Gently blend all ingredients with a fork until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Form the mixture into four 3/4-inch thick patties.
- Preheat your grill or broiler. Cook patties for 5-6 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C).
- Serve immediately on whole-grain buns with your favorite low-fat toppings, such as low-fat sour cream and fresh salsa.
