Ingredients

2 cans black beans, drained and patted dry
¾ cup panko
1 egg
1 cup shredded cheddar
½ cup corn
4 buns
2 avocados
1 tbsp adobo sauce
lettuce

From your pantry: 2 tsp smoked paprika, 1 tsp cumin, 2 tbsp oil, ⅓ cup mayo, salt.

Instructions

Spread the beans on a sheet pan and bake at 350°F for 15 minutes to dry them out. This stops mushy burgers.
Mash the beans roughly, leaving some whole. Mix in the panko, egg, cheddar, corn, paprika, cumin and salt.
Form 4 patties and chill 10 minutes.
Fry in the oil over medium heat until crusty, 4 to 5 minutes per side.
Stir the adobo into the mayo. Serve the burgers on toasted buns with chipotle mayo, lettuce and avocado.

Tip: Patties freeze well between parchment. Cook from frozen, adding 2 minutes per side.
