Chipotle black bean burgers with cilantro-lime mayo

I tweaked this recipe a little to make it more "us." I also added in the most amazing mayo recipe ever from here (P.S., I absolutely LOVE Our Best Bites' Southwest Burger recipe [referenced in the previous link]. Eat it. It's good. It's meaty. It's amazing). Enjoy!

Chipotle black bean burgers:


  • 1 15 oz can reduced sodium black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1/2 green bell pepper, cored, seeded and cut into 2" chunks
  • 1/2 onion, cut into 4 wedges
  • 3 cloves garlic
  • 1 egg
  • 1 T chili powder
  • 1 T cumin
  • 1 chipotle pepper canned in adobo sauce 
  • 3/4 C plain bread crumbs
  • 8 whole wheat hamburger buns
  • 3 avocados, mashed
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. 

Mash beans in a bowl with a fork until thick and pasty. 

Blend bell pepper, onion, garlic, egg, cumin, chili powder and chipotle pepper in a blender or food processor. Stir blended mixture into beans. Add bread crumbs as needed until the mixture holds together. Shape into 8 patties. Place on baking sheet and cook for 11 minutes on each side. 

Serve on buns with avocado and cilantro-lime mayo (two "musts"), tomato, pepper jack cheese, and whatever else your heart desires! 

Mayo:
  • 1/4 C mayonnaise
  • 1 t lime juice
  • 3/4 t adobo sauce (from canned chipotle peppers)
  • 1 T fresh cilantro, finely chopped
Combine ingredients in a small bowl and stir. Store in the fridge until your burgers are ready for consumption.
