Instructions
- 1
In a large bowl, mash the black beans with a fork or potato masher until mostly broken down but still with some texture.
- 2
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a small pan over medium heat. Add the diced red onion and cook until softened, about 3-5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
- 3
Add the cooked onion and garlic to the mashed black beans. Stir in the cooked brown rice, breadcrumbs, smoked paprika, cumin, chili powder, nutritional yeast (if using), and fresh cilantro (if using). Season generously with salt and pepper.
- 4
Mix everything together thoroughly. You can use your hands to ensure all ingredients are well combined and the mixture holds together. If the mixture seems too wet, add a little more breadcrumbs, one tablespoon at a time, until it's firm enough to form patties.
- 5
Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and form them into patties, about 3/4 inch thick.
- 6
Heat a lightly oiled non-stick skillet or grill pan over medium heat. Cook the patties for 5-7 minutes per side, or until golden brown and heated through.
- 7
Serve on your favorite burger buns with all your desired toppings, or enjoy in a lettuce wrap for a lighter meal!
Pro Tips
High in fiber at 11g per serving, this dish will keep you full and satisfied for hours.
Don't skip the seasoning. Vegan comfort food shines when you're generous with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika.
Taste as you go and adjust seasoning before serving. Plant-based dishes often benefit from a squeeze of lemon or a pinch of salt at the end.
