1. 1In a large bowl, mash the 2 cans of black beans (rinsed) with a fork or potato masher until mostly broken down.
2. 2Finely dice the 0.5 medium red onion and the 0.5 medium green bell pepper. Mince the 3 cloves of garlic.
3. 3Add the diced red onion, diced green bell pepper, minced garlic, 1 cup of gluten-free breadcrumbs, 1 tsp cumin, 0.75 tsp chili powder, 0.5 tsp Scotch bonnet pepper sauce, 1 tbsp lime juice, 0.5 tsp salt, and 0.25 tsp black pepper to the mashed black beans.

4. 4Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each portion into a burger patty.
5. 5Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a 30.48 cm skillet over medium heat (176.7°C / 175°C).
6. 6Carefully place the 4 patties into the hot skillet. Cook for 5 to 7 minutes on the first side, until golden brown and slightly crisp. Flip the patties and cook for another 5 to 7 minutes on the second side, until heated through and also golden brown.
7. 7While the patties are cooking, lightly toast the 4 burger buns.
