Black Bean Guacamole Burgers

How to make Black Bean Guacamole Burgers Recipe - Black beans make some of the best burgers. They are simple to prepare and quick to put together. This Mexican-style burger topped with my simple guacamole is a great way to enjoy a meatless meal without missing meat one bit. Have the kids help combine the burgers in the food processor; my boys love pressing the buttons. Serve with a simple salad and my Parmesan Roasted Carrot Fries.

Ingredients:
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 15-ounce cans black beans, drained and rinsed, divided
1 large egg
1⁄4 cup chopped white onion
1 clove garlic
1⁄2 teaspoon kosher salt
1⁄4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1⁄4 teaspoon garlic salt
1 cup Japanese panko bread crumbs
6 hamburger rolls, split
1⁄2 cup mayonnaise
6 large lettuce leaves
6 slices tomato (1⁄4-inch thick)
Party Guacamole
Tortilla chips

Method:
1. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

2. Add half of the black beans, the egg, onion, garlic, salt, pepper, and garlic salt to a food processor. Pulse until well combined, and transfer to a medium mixing bowl. Add the bread crumbs and the remaining beans to the bowl and stir to combine. With your hands, form 1⁄2-cup each of the bean mixture into six patties.

3. In batches, add the patties to the hot skillet and cook until crispy, 3 to 4 minutes per side. In batches, add the rolls cut side down into the skillet to toast, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove and spread both sides of the rolls with the mayonnaise. Layer the bottoms of the rolls with 1 lettuce leaf, 1 bean burger, 1 tomato slice, and 2 to 3 tablespoons of guacamole. Close with the top of the roll. Serve with the remaining guacamole and a bowl of tortilla chips.
