Directions

In a large mixing bowl, combine black beans, grated onion, garlic, chipotle peppers, adobo sauce, tamari, balsamic vinegar, cumin, salt, and pepper. Mash with a potato masher or large fork until the mixture begins to hold together but still has visible chunks of beans.
Add the egg and mix well. Then fold in the panko breadcrumbs until everything is evenly combined. If the mixture feels too wet, refrigerate it for 20 minutes to firm up.
Form the mixture into 6 patties, each about ⅓ cup of the mixture. Place on a parchment-lined tray.
Option 1 – Skillet: Heat a cast-iron skillet over medium heat. Lightly brush with olive oil and cook each patty for 4–5 minutes per side or until both sides are crispy and well-charred.
Option 2 – Heat a cast-iron skillet over medium heat. Lightly brush with olive oil and cook each patty for 4–5 minutes per side or until both sides are crispy and well-charred.
Preheat your grill to 400°F (200°C). Brush patties with oil, spray grill grates, and cook for 8 minutes on one side, then 4 minutes on the other, until firm and smoky.
Serve your black bean burgers on toasted buns with your favorite toppings—try chipotle mayo, guacamole, lettuce, tomato, and red onion for the perfect bite!

Recipe Note

Chef Tips

If it’s too wet: Chill the mixture for 20 minutes or mash the beans more thoroughly.
Get that char: Don’t rush—let patties sear until the edges are crisp before flipping.
Meal prep tip: Mix and shape the patties ahead of time and refrigerate for up to 24 hours before cooking.
Make it vegan: Replace the egg with a flax egg (1 Tbsp flaxseed meal + 3 Tbsp water).

Serving Suggestions
Serve these flavorful black bean burgers with:

Sweet potato fries or air fryer French fries
Grilled corn on the cob or zucchini slices
Crisp coleslaw or cucumber salad
Side salad favorites: Broccoli salad, watermelon feta salad, or Mexican street corn salad
For a lighter option, skip the bun and serve the patty over greens with avocado and a drizzle of tahini or chipotle dressing.

Storage & Reheating

Refrigerate: Store cooked patties in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
Freeze: Freeze raw or cooked patties in layers (with parchment between) for up to 2 months.
Reheat: Warm on a skillet or in the oven at 375°F (190°C) for about 10 minutes, or until heated through and crispy.
