Ingredients
- 2 cans Black Beans
- 1 cup Cooked Brown Rice
- 1/2 cup Gluten-Free Breadcrumbs
- 1/4 cup Red Onion
- 2 teaspoons Chili Powder
- 1 teaspoon Cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon Garlic Powder
- 1/2 teaspoon Smoked Paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon Salt
- 1/4 teaspoon Black Pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive Oil
- 4 Burger Buns

Original measure retained: its cup/spoon or fluid-volume standard is unspecified.
Instructions
- 1Drain and rinse the 2 cans of black beans. Place half of the black beans in a large bowl and mash them with a fork until mostly broken down.
- 2Add the remaining black beans, 1 cup of cooked brown rice, 1/2 cup of gluten-free breadcrumbs, 1/4 cup of red onion, 2 teaspoons of chili powder, 1 teaspoon of cumin, 1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon of smoked paprika, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper to the bowl with the mashed beans.
- 3Mix all the ingredients in the bowl together thoroughly until everything is well combined. If the mixture seems too wet to form patties, add a little more of the 1/2 cup of gluten-free breadcrumbs, a tablespoon at a time, until it holds together.
- 4Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each portion into a burger patty, about 1.9 cm thick.
- 5Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in an approximately 30 cm skillet over medium heat, which is about 175°C.
- 6Carefully place the 4 patties into the hot skillet. Cook for 5 to 7 minutes on the first side, until they are nicely browned and firm to the touch. Flip the patties and cook for another 5 to 7 minutes on the second side, until they are also browned and heated through.
- 7Place the cooked burger patties onto 4 burger buns and add your desired toppings, such as lettuce, tomato, and avocado.
