Black Bean Burgers

Ingredients:


1 (15-ounce) can no-salt-added black beans, rinsed and drained

1 egg

1/2 yellow onion, chopped

1 cup whole wheat bread crumbs

1 teaspoon dried oregano

1 teaspoon dried basil

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder or granules

Salt and pepper to taste

Hot sauce to taste

1 to 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive or canola oil

6 whole wheat hamburger buns(100 calories)

6 green leaf lettuce leaves

2 tomatoes, sliced

1/2 small red onion, thinly sliced

Instructions:

ONE: Put beans in a large bowl and mash well with a fork. Add egg, yellow onion, bread crumbs, oregano, basil, garlic powder, salt, pepper and hot sauce. Mix well to combine then shape into 6 patties.

TWO: Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Arrange patties in a single layer (working in batches, if needed) and cook, flipping once, until golden brown on both sides and cooked through, about 10 minutes total.

THREE: Transfer to buns, top with lettuce, tomatoes and red onions and serve.
