Spicy Black Bean Burgers on Gluten-Free Buns

Ingredients

• 2 cans Black Beans
• 1 cup Corn Kernels
• 0.5 Red Onion
• 1 Chipotle Pepper in Adobo Sauce
• 1 tsp Cumin
• 1 tsp Chili Powder
• 0.5 cup Gluten-Free Breadcrumbs
• 2 tbsp Tapioca Starch
• 4 Gluten-Free Burger Buns
• 1 Avocado
• 0.5 cup Salsa

Instructions

1. 1Drain and rinse the 2 cans of black beans. In a large bowl, mash one can of the black beans until mostly smooth, leaving the other can of black beans whole.
2. 2Add the 1 cup of corn kernels, the 0.5 red onion (diced), the 1 chipotle pepper in adobo sauce (finely chopped), the 1 tsp cumin, the 1 tsp chili powder, the 0.5 cup gluten-free breadcrumbs, and the 2 tbsp tapioca starch to the bowl with the mashed and whole black beans. Mix everything together thoroughly with your hands or a sturdy spoon until well combined.
3. 3Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape each portion into a burger patty, about 3/4-inch thick.
4. 4Heat a 10-inch skillet over medium heat (approximately 350°F or 175°C). Carefully place the four patties into the hot skillet. Cook for 5-7 minutes per side, until the burgers are browned and heated through. They should feel firm to the touch.
5. 5While the burgers are cooking, prepare the toppings. Slice the 1 avocado. Have the 0.5 cup salsa ready.
6. 6Place the cooked black bean patties onto the 4 gluten-free burger buns. Top each burger with slices of the 1 avocado and a spoonful of the 0.5 cup salsa.
