    Put them on my Chipotle. I prefer them over the pinto beans.

    Spicy Black Bean Sloppy Joes....excellent flavor..got recipe from a magazine...possibly Parents...I don't recall.
    Black beans drained and rinsed, brown sugar, cumin, salsa, Worcestershire sauce. I'll have to check the recipe later and will get back with you. I prefer to put it over the top of my salad verses putting it on a bun. :blushing:

    I got this recipe off MFP this week, it’s not mine, I have not tried it yet but looks yummy!


    Black Bean Burgers

    Spicy Black Bean Burgers with Chipotle Mayonnaise
    adapted from All Recipes
    Skinnytaste.com
    Servings: 4 • Size: 1 burger w/ mayo bun + avocado • Old Points: 8 pts • Points+: 9 pts
    Calories: 362.6 • Fat: 14.0 g • Protein: 18.1 g • Carb: 50 g • Fiber: 15.1 g • Sugar: 7.1 g
    Sodium: 786.4 mg (without salt)
    Patty alone, no bun, no avocado, no mayo: 4 pts plus

    Ingredients:

    For the Spicy Chipotle Mayo:
    3 1/2 tbsp light mayonnaise (Hellman's)
    1 tbsp canned chipotle in adobo sauce

    For the Black Bean Burgers:

    16 oz can black beans, rinsed and drained
    1/2 red bell pepper, cut into 2 inch pieces
    1/2 cup chopped scallions
    3 tbsp chopped cilantro
    3 cloves garlic, peeled
    1 jumbo egg
    1 tbsp cumin
    1/4 to 1/2 tsp kosher salt
    1 tsp hot sauce
    1/2 cup quick oats (use gf oats for gluten free)
    4 whole wheat 100 calorie buns (Martin's)*
    1 small hass avocado, sliced thin

    Directions:

    Combine mayonnaise and chipotle, set aside.

    Dry the beans well after washing, extra moisture keep the burgers from sticking. In a medium bowl, mash beans with a fork until thick and pasty.

    In a food processor, finely chop bell pepper, cilantro, onion, and garlic, then add oats, then eggs and spices. Then stir into mashed beans.

    Divide mixture into four patties (using slightly oiled hands helps) and place them onto a flat surface covered with wax paper. (If it's too wet, chill the mixture 30 minutes in the refrigerator or add another tablespoon of oats)

    Freeze at least 2 hours before cooking or keep frozen until ready to cook.

    Heat a lightly sprayed skillet to medium heat and cook frozen burgers about 7 minutes on each side.

    If grilling, preheat grill over medium heat, and lightly oil a sheet of aluminum foil; grill 7-8 minutes on each side or you can bake in the oven at 375° on a lightly oiled baking sheet.

    *Nutritional value will vary slightly depending on buns. Look for low calorie whole wheat buns.

    I'm sure someone already said these things, but I like adding them to salads (with a little salsa it is SO GOOD), eating them plain for a high fiber and protein filling snack, or putting them into a wrap.

    I've even thrown a tbsp. or two into egg white omelets for a protein boost. I LOVE black beans!

    Cooking Light also has a great chorizo black bean chili that I adore.

    Also lately we've been doing the carb blast - diced cooked sweet potatoes-black beans- and a bit of swiss cheese in an omelet - this is mostly for heavy lifting days.

    Mix 1 can of rotel, 1 can of black beans, 1 can of corn or about 2 cup of corn, 1/2 tsp cumin. Put 6-8 chicken breasts in pyrex dish and top with mixture. Cover with tin foil. Bake at 425 for 20 minutes. Top with cheese.

    Or do this same recipe with tin foil packets on the grill. This recipe is so simple and yummy!

    This week, I used them instead of refried beans to make Mexican pizzas (tortilla spread with refried beans, topped with cheese, salsa, etc.). I got the low-sodium ones by Glory and poured the whole can into a bowl and mashed them with a potato masher. I got the low-carb tortillas by La Tortilla Factory, spread them with the mashed black beans, topped with cheddar veggie shreds, chopped fresh salsa, and sliced black olives...yum. At first, I used two tortillas but wanted to cut the sodium further, so after that I halved one tortilla (I like my Mexican pizza to have a cover). And I used little dollops of plain Greek yogurt instead of sour cream. Pretty darn good, I think.

    I put them in Chili. I also made them as a side dish for Fajita Dinners. I just warm them up with some red onions and bacon ( not healthy I know, but delicious!) I also throw them on salads to help fill me up.
