Recipe Steps

Drain and rinse 1 (15 oz) can black beans in colander.

Line a baking sheet with 2 layers of paper towels. Add beans in a single layer. Dry for 10 minutes.

Meanwhile, remove stems from 1 small bunch cilantro. Finely mince and measure 2 Tbsp. Add to medium bowl.

Add ½ tsp ground cumin, ½ tsp chili powder, ¼ tsp garlic powder, ¼ tsp kosher salt, 1 Tbsp flour, and 2 tsp Worcestershire to cilantro.

Add beans to spice mixture. Mash just until beans are broken into small pieces. Mixture should be chunky, not smooth.

Crack 1 egg in small bowl. Throw away shells and wash your hands. Whisk until smooth.

Add ¼ cup panko bread crumbs and egg to bean mixture. Stir until combined.

Divide mixture into four equal balls. Gently flatten into patties the size of your burger buns, about 3-4 inches.

Preheat ¼ cup vegetable oil in skillet over medium heat for 1 min. Carefully add patties. Cook 5 minutes, until browned.

Use turner spatula to flip patties. Be careful of hot oil that could splatter.

Top burgers with 4 slices cheddar cheese. Cook 4 minutes, until browned on bottom.

Assemble burgers! Set patties on buns. Top with lettuce and tomato. TASTE & SHARE!
