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.
As part of the Foodbuzz Tastemaker Program, I received Glad FreezerWare Containers to review. All opinions are my own.

heat them up and eat em with a spoon. Love them!

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.

I mixed it with my cottage cheese one day and fell in love! I'm eating that for dinner tonight actually

Easy Black Bean Burgers

1 can black beans (drained and rinsed)
1/2c bread crumbs (I like the seasoned kind)
1 large egg
1tbsp. cumin
1tsp. chilli powder
1tsp. hot sauce

Mash black beans, mix with remaining ingredients. Form into patties and place on lightly greased cookie sheet. Bake in oven 10 minutes each side at 375 degrees. Done!

They are soooo good with guacamole!! My 10 year old begs for these!

omelette, on a salad, in a taco, as a side dish... they're awesome!

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!

^bahah! i don't know HOW healthy it is, but i mix a frozen bag of corn with a can of beans, half a diced onion, 3tbsp olive oil, juice of one lime (or just lots of squirts of the lime juice in a bottle) and cilantro. sometimes when i have it, i mix in a diced tomato and half a diced avocado too. and i love the lime juice so i pile it in there. so yummy!

Trying this tonight. Sounds yummy! Thanks!

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.

I make burritos with them
