Flavortown Black Bean Burgers With Salsa and Avocado

Serving size
Serves 4-5

Ingredients

  • 2 cans black beans (drained & rinsed)
  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour (or gluten-free all-purpose flour)
  • ½-1 onion (white or yellow, chopped)
  • 3-4 cloves garlic (minced)
  • salt and pepper
  • about 6 tbsp olive oil (2 for onions & garlic; 4 for burgers)
  • 1 jar salsa (of choice)
  • 2-3 ripe avocado
  • 1-3 packs Uncle Bens Basmati Rice (or microwavable rice of choice)
  • 1 bottle Flavortown Chipolte Sauce (or chipotle sauce of choice)

Method

  1. 1

    Sauté onion and garlic in 1-2 tbsp olive oil until soft (2-3 min); remove from heat.

  2. 2

    In a large bowl, mix black beans, rolled oats, all-purpose flour, and about 1/3 cup salsa.

  3. 3

    Season generously with salt & pepper.

  4. 4

    With a potato masher, mash the mixture enough so that most of the beans are mashed, but you can still see some whole beans throughout.

  5. 5

    Add in the cooked onion & garlic and stir to fully incorporate all.

  6. 6

    Shape into palm-sized burgers and place on a plate (should make 8-10).

  7. 7

    Heat another 2-4 tbsp olive oil in a med-high skillet; cook burgers about 3 min on each side until browned and hot throughout.

  8. 8

    Meanwhile, heat rice in microwave; spread onto a serving plate or large serving dish and slice the avocado. (One pack of rice serves 1-2)

  9. 9

    Place desired amount of burgers on top of rice and top with salsa & sliced avocado.

  10. 10

    Drizzle with Flavortown sauce and serve!

Notes

The burgers heat up really well in the microwave for leftovers the next day.
