• 2 tablespoons Olive oil

Instructions

1. 1In a large bowl, add the 2 cans of black beans, rinsed and drained. Mash the black beans with a fork or potato masher until they are mostly broken down, but leave some whole beans for texture.
2. 2Add the 1 cup of cooked brown rice, 0.5 cup of corn kernels, 0.5 red onion finely chopped, 2 teaspoons of chili powder, 1 teaspoon of cumin, 2 cloves of garlic minced, and 0.5 cup of gluten-free breadcrumbs to the bowl with the mashed black beans. Mix everything together thoroughly until it is well combined.
3. 3Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each portion into a patty. You should have 4 patties in total.
4. 4Place a 12-inch skillet over medium heat. Add the 2 tablespoons of olive oil to the skillet and let it heat up for about 1 minute until it shimmers.
5. 5Carefully place the 4 black bean patties into the heated skillet. Cook for 5 to 7 minutes on the first side, until they are golden brown and slightly crispy. Then, carefully flip the patties and cook for another 5 to 7 minutes on the second side, until heated through and also golden brown.
6. 6While the patties are cooking, prepare the 4 gluten-free hamburger buns. You can lightly toast them if desired.
7. 7Place each cooked black bean patty onto a gluten-free hamburger bun. Add your favorite toppings, such as lettuce, tomato, avocado, or salsa, to taste.
