How to Make Spicy Black Bean And Lentil Burgers
- Prepare 1 (15-ounce) can black beans according to package directions. Drain and rinse well.
- Allow beans to cool slightly, then mash thoroughly with a fork or potato masher.
- Finely chop 1/2 medium yellow onion, 2 cloves garlic, and 1-2 jalapeños (adjust to your spice preference).
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed beans, 1 cup cooked brown or green lentils, chopped onion, garlic, jalapeños, 1/2 cup breadcrumbs, 1 tablespoon chili powder, 1 teaspoon cumin, 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika, 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional), 1/4 cup chopped cilantro, and 1 tablespoon olive oil. Season generously with salt and pepper to taste. Mix well to combine.
- Gently form the mixture into 4-6 patties, about 1/2-inch thick.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook the patties for 4-5 minutes per side, or until heated through and nicely browned.
- Serve on buns with your favorite toppings, such as avocado, lettuce, tomato, and your favorite sauce.
