Spicy Black Bean Barbecue Avocado Burgers
Spicy Black Bean Barbecue Avocado Burgers are the perfect BBQ'ed burger!
Ingredients
- Ingredients for spicy black bean burger patties
- ½ onion chopped
- 1 jalapeno seeded and chopped
- 3 garlic cloves
- 14.5 ounces black beans rinsed and drained (I used canned, but you can also use cooked dry beans as well)
- ½ cup rolled oats
- ½ cup corn at room temperature (frozen or fresh is fine)
- 1 green onion chopped
- 2 teaspoon cumin
- ½ teaspoon curry powder
- ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
- ¼ cup breadcrumbs plain
- salt and pepper
- Toppings
- 8 TBS Kraft Sweet Honey Barbecue sauce
- 4 pepper jack cheese slices
- 1 avocado thinly sliced
- 4 rolls lightly toasted and cut in half
Instructions
-
Put onion, jalapeno and garlic into a food processor and pulse for a few seconds. Add beans, oats, corn, green onion, cumin, curry powder, and cayenne pepper. Season with salt and pepper and pulse for about 20 seconds or until fully mixed. Scrape downs sides of the bowl and process for 10 seconds.
-
Place mixture into a bowl, cover, and refrigerate for at least two hours.
-
Remove chilled mixture from refrigerator and stir in breadcrumbs. Adjust seasonings to taste.
-
Form the mixture into 4 patties.
-
Heat grill and spray the grill with non-stick spray. You may use a foil under the burgers if desired (they crumble easily). Grill for 5 to 7 minutes on each side or until a crust develops and the patties are heated through.
-
Add 1 TBS barbecue sauce to the bottom bun, then add the cheese slice, burger, avocado slices (about 3 per burger), and remaining 1 TBS of barbecue sauce to the top. Top with remaining bun top.
Recipe Notes
These burgers can also be cooked in a skillet - use a couple TBS of olive oil, heat, and then cook about 4 minutes per side.
