Instructions

1. 1Drain and rinse the about 425 g of black beans. Place the beans in a large bowl and mash them with a fork or potato masher until they are mostly broken down but still have some texture.
2. 2Add the 0.5 cup of cooked brown rice, 0.5 cup of oats, 0.25 cup of red onion, 2 cloves of garlic, 1 tablespoon of chili powder, 1 teaspoon of cumin, 0.75 teaspoon of salt, and 0.5 teaspoon of black pepper to the bowl with the mashed black beans. Stir everything together until it is well combined.
3. 3Divide the black bean mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each portion into a patty, about 1.905 cm thick.
4. 4Heat a 25.4 cm skillet over medium heat, which is about 175°C. Carefully place the 4 patties into the hot skillet. Cook for 5 to 7 minutes on each side, until the patties are heated through and have a slightly browned exterior.
5. 5Alternatively, preheat your grill to medium heat (about 175°C or 175°C). Place the 4 patties on the grill grates and cook for 4 to 5 minutes on each side, until heated through and lightly charred.
6. 6Prepare the toppings: slice the 1 medium tomato and the 1 avocado. Wash the 4 leaves of lettuce.
7. 7Assemble the burgers by placing one patty on each of the 4 vegan buns. Top each burger with lettuce, tomato slices, and avocado slices.
