Easy Homemade Black Bean Burgers

I sort of made up this recipe today.

What can I say, I'm inspired.

Ingredients:

1 package of taco seasoning

3 cups black beans, divided

1/3 cup bread crumbs

1/3 cup corn

1/4 cup finely chopped onion (you can saute first if you like)

Procedure: Combine 1 1/2 cups of beans with taco seasoning. Mash well (I used my blender; a food processor might be good too. Or, just mash!)
Add remaining ingredients and mix well.
Using a 1/4 cup measure, scoop out the mixture and form into 1/4 cup patties. Set aside

(I got 11 paties out of this.)

Oil a cast-iron skillet. Put a few patties in a heated skillet and cover. Cook for 3-5 minutes and flip. Cover again and cook 3-5 minutes for the other side.

(I tried with the cast-iron skillet AND a teflon coated frying pan and got way better results with the iron one).

You can eat the burgers right away, or put them on a well-oiled cookie sheet and bake for 10 minutes if you like them a bit more crisp (I do!).

Serve on a bun, topped with salsa and sliced avocado.

Yum!
