Spicy Black Bean Burger w/ Red & Yellow Fire Roasted Tomato Salsa

I tried these last week when I was out with the family. My daughter ordered a black bean burger. I absolutely loved it. I loved it so much that I had to make it at home. This has to be the best bean burger ever!!

Spicy Black Bean Burger w/ Red & Yellow Fire Roasted Tomato Salsa

Serves: 4

Ingredients:
2 (15-oz) cans black beans (drained, rinsed and divided)
1/4 C shallots, minced
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/4 C cilantro or flat-leaf parsley, finely chopped
1 1/2 tsp dried oregano
1/4 tsp cayenne
ground pepper
 2 tsp ground cumin,
1 tsp chipotle flavored Tabasco
1 tsp salt (only if the beans you’re using are salt-free, otherwise omit)
3 Tbsp mayonnaise
1/3 C bread crumbs
3 Tbsp vegetable oil
small hamburger buns, sour cream and salsa (Recipe Below) for serving.

Directions:
In the bowl of a food processor, add shallot, garlic, cilantro or parsley, oregano, cayenne. Season with black pepper. (If using, also add the Tabasco, cumin and salt.) Process for 10-15 seconds.

Add remaining ingredients, reserving one can of beans. Process 20 seconds until you have a coarse paste. Stir in the remaining can of beans.

Form four patties. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, heat 3 Tbsp oil until shimmery-hot. Cook burgers until browned on both sides, about 5-6 minutes total. Serve with sour cream and salsa on hamburger buns.
