Ingredients
  • Olive oil
  • ½ red onion diced small
  • 1 small red bell pepper diced small
  • 2 garlic cloves minced
  • 1tsp cumin
  • 1tsp chili powder
  • ½tsp dried oregano
  • 2tbsp fire roasted green chilis (in their juice from a can)
  • 1 16oz can of black beans, rinsed and drained
  • ½cup sweet corn kernels
  • ¼ cup minced cilantro
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • ½cup and 2tbsp panko crumbs
  • 1 large egg
Instructions
  1. Drizzle a couple of tablespoons of olive oil in a medium skillet and heat over medium heat. Add the onion and red pepper and sauté for 3 minutes, or until beginning to soften. Add the garlic and sauté for another 30 seconds. Add the cumin, chili powder, oregano and green peppers and sauté for another 30 seconds. Take off heat and place contents into a medium bowl.
  2. Place black beans in a food processor and blend until beginning to look smooth but still a little chunky. Pour into bowl with sautéed veggies. Add corn, cilantro and salt & pepper. Mix well. Taste to adjust seasoning. (This is a good place to add spice if you so desire.) Add the Panko and egg and mix well. Divide mixture into 6 even sections and form each one into a patty. Place patties in refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before cooking.
  3. Heat an oiled skilled or grill over medium high heat. Add patty and cook each side for 3 minutes, or until beginning to char and easily remove from surface. Be gentle with patties as they can be delicate. Place in hamburger buns, lettuce or wraps and top with your favorites like avocado, more green chilies, tomatoes, salsa or cheese. Enjoy!
