Salsa Black Bean Burgers (or Bowl)

Salsa Black Bean Burgers (or Bowl)

A quick meatless option.

Ingredients

  • 1 can black beans, drained and rinsed
  • ½ cup Peppy Pete’s Black Bean and Corn Salsa (or any variety)
  • ⅓ cup breadcrumbs or crushed tortilla chips
  • 1 egg
  • Optional toppings: extra salsa, avocado, cheese

Instructions

  1. Mash the black beans in a bowl, leaving some texture.
  2. Stir in the salsa, breadcrumbs, and egg. Form into 4 patties.
  3. Cook in a skillet over medium heat 3–4 minutes per side, or bake at 375°F for 15–18 minutes.
  4. Serve on buns or over rice with extra salsa.

These hold together best if you chill the mixture 10–15 minutes before cooking.
