2 Tbsp. freshly squeezed lime juice
1 Tbsp. finely chopped chives
salt and freshly ground black pepper

Black Bean Burgers

1 15-oz. can black beans, drained and rinsed
4 oz. white button mushrooms, chopped
1/4 cup yellow onion, chopped
2 Tbsp. chopped green chiles
2 Tbsp. hot sauce,
1 tsp. chili powder use your favorite
1/2 tsp. ground cumin
1/3 cup cooked brown rice
1 cup seasoned panko crumbs
1 large egg, lightly beaten
1 tsp. coarse kosher salt
1/4 tsp. freshly ground black pepper
2 Tbsp. olive oil

Instructions

Chipotle Mayo

Combine all ingredients in a blender or small food processor. Puree until smooth. Season, to taste, with salt and pepper. Place in an airtight container in refrigerator until ready to use.

Black Bean Burgers

Reserve 1/2 cup beans and set aside.
Pulse remaining black beans, mushrooms, onion, green chiles, hot sauce, chili powder and cumin a few times in a food processor until mixture resembles a chunky puree. Place mixture in a medium bowl. Add reserved beans, brown rice, panko crumbs, egg, salt and pepper and mix until well combined. Form into 5-6 patties, depending on how big you like your burgers. Cover and place in refrigerator for one hour or up to overnight.
Place olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Cook burgers, for about 10 minutes, turning once, until heated through. Top with a slice of cheese and cook until melted.
Place burger on top of a few slices of lettuce. Top with some chipotle mayo, tomato slices, and a few more pieces of lettuce to make a bun.

Notes

This recipe will make as many burgers as you want depending on the size you prefer. I made five nice size burgers.

The recipe calls for some hot sauce, so use what you like.

I like to make this recipe super duper healthy by using a lettuce bun, but you could also use regular hamburger buns.
