Instructions
For the black bean patty
Preheat oven to 375
Heat pan on stove medium high with the oil. I use a cast iron pan so that I can transfer straight to the oven.
Reserve ¾ cup beans.
Place all other ingredients in the food processor and pulse until combined but still slightly chunky.
Stir in remaining beans.
Form patties. (Approximately 8)
Fry in oil for a few minutes on each side until browned and crispy.
Place in oven and bake for 25 minutes.
For the cilantro lime sauce
Mix all ingredients. Put in as much lime zest as you can get!
Refrigerate for a few hours to enhance flavors.
And now, the burger
But a burger bun in half
Add your vegetables. Goes great with tomato, avocado, onion, lettuce, and cucumber.
Lay the patty on top.
Drizzle sauce all over the patty – be generous!
Close with other half of the bun.
Enjoy!
