April Theme: cooking with AVOCADO (heidi)

Black Bean Burgers


1 1/2 cups cooked black beans, rinsed and drained (I used dried and cooked overnight in my crockpot)
1 egg
1/2 yellow onion, chopped
1 cup Gluten Free bread crumbs (see personal blog for recipe: The Homemade and Dairy Free Kitchen)
1 teaspoon cilantro
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon fiesta party mix (from tastefully simple, I would sub this with taco seasoning?)
salt and pepper
hot sauce to taste


Put beans in a large bowl and mash well with a fork. Add egg, yellow onion, bread crumbs, seasonings and hot sauce. Mix well to combine then shape into 6 patties.

Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Arrange patties in a single layer (working in batches, if needed) and cook, flipping once, until golden brown on both sides and cooked through, about 10 minutes total. Transfer to buns, top with lettuce, tomatoes and red onions, avocado smash and serve.


Avocado Smash

2 avocados

1/2 onion, chopped fine

2 TBS lemon or lime juice

salt, pepper and red pepper flakes to taste


Place in a bowl and "mash" together, serve with chips or on burgers!
