Easy Yummy Black Bean and Corn Burgers

Ingredients

  • 1-1/2 cups black beans
  • corn kernels from 1 large corn
  • 1 finely diced large red onion
  • 2 large handfuls baby spinach leaves
  • 1/2 cup cilantro
  • 2 tbsp tahini
  • 2 tbsp coconut aminos or low-sodium tamari/soy sauce
  • juice of 1 lime
  • 2 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 2 tsp ground cumin
  • 1-2 tsp chili powder
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • oat flour (up to 1 cup)
  • optional: olive oil for brushing

Guacamole

  • 3 very ripe avocados
  • juice of 1 lime
  • 2 finely grated garlic cloves
  • salt to taste
  • sprinkle of red chili flakes

Preparation

  1. Pulse 1-1/2 cups black beans in food processor until partly mashed with some whole beans remaining.

  2. Boil 1 large corn on stovetop and remove kernels with a sharp knife once cooked. Optionally, roast the corn over a gas burner for better flavor.

  3. Combine mashed beans, corn kernels, 1 finely diced large red onion, 2 large handfuls roughly chopped baby spinach leaves, 1/2 cup chopped cilantro, 2 tbsp tahini, 2 tbsp coconut aminos or low-sodium tamari/soy sauce, juice of 1 lime, 2 tsp smoked paprika, 1 tsp garlic powder, 2 tsp ground cumin, 1-2 tsp chili powder, salt and pepper to taste in a large bowl.

  4. Mix with hands or a spoon and gradually add oat flour until the mixture is sticky enough to form patties (no more than 1 cup flour).

  5. Use hands to form roughly 7 burgers, ensuring they are not too thick for even cooking. Optionally, brush the surface with a little olive oil.

  6. Bake on a lined baking sheet at 375F for about 25 minutes, flipping halfway through. Alternatively, air fry at 400F for 15-20 minutes.

  3. Mix together until well combined.
