Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Drain and rinse the 1 can black beans, then mash them in a bowl with a fork until mostly smooth but still chunky.

  2. Step 2

    Add the 0.5 cup breadcrumbs and 1 egg to the beans, season with salt and pepper, and mix until combined.

  3. Step 3

    Form the mixture into 2 patties. Heat 1 tbsp oil in a skillet over medium heat.

  4. Step 4

    Cook the patties until browned and firm, about 4-5 minutes per side. Set aside.

  5. Step 5

    Slice the 1 avocado, 0.5 cucumber, 1 tomato, and 0.5 red bell pepper into thin rounds.

  6. Step 6

    Toast the 2 buns in the same skillet until golden, about 1 minute.

  7. Step 7

    Spread the avocado slices on the bottom buns, then add the patties, cucumber, tomato, and bell pepper. Top with the other bun half and serve.

  8. Step 8

    Optional: add lettuce, onion, or a squeeze of lime for extra freshness.
