Serves 2

Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup onion, chopped and sautéed

  • 1 cup canned black beans, well-drained

  • 1 slice bread, crumbled

  • 1/4 tsp. salt

  • 1/2 tsp. garlic powder

  • 1/2 tsp. onion powder

  • oil for frying 

  • 2 onion rolls or buns

  • 1/2 avocado, sliced

  • 6 cucumber slices

  • 1/2 cup leafy greens

  • 1/4  cup bean sprouts

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, mash the beans until almost smooth.

  2. Add the sautéed onions to the mashed black beans, along with the crumbled bread, seasoned salt, garlic powder, and onion powder, mixing to combine well.

  3. Add the flour a few tablespoons at a time and mix to combine well. Note that the mixture will be very thick.

  4. Form into individual patties, approximately 1/2-inch thick by rolling a handful into a ball, then gently flatten.

  5. Fry patties in a small amount of oil over medium-low heat until slightly firm and lightly browned on each side, about 3 minutes. 

  6. Layer greens, bean patty, avocado, and cucumber on a bun. Add sprouts and top with the other half of the bun.

  7. Serve immediately.
