Mexican Black Bean Burger

These Gluten free black bean burgers are crispy on the outside and pack a punch of flavour! Full of black beans, corn and delicious Mexican spices.

You can adjust the spiciness to your liking here, I like it flavorful but not too spicy. But hey, if you like it really spicy, bring it on and add a little more chilly or a lot!

This recipe comes together easily in the food processor.

Ingredients you need to make these Gluten free black bean burgers:

Oats, use certified gluten free oats to keep these burgers Gluten-Free

Black beans, I use canned but you can also use soaked and boiled black beans.

Garlic

Shallot

Lime, juiced

Sea salt

Ground cumin and sweet paprika

Cayenne pepper, to taste

Egg, for vegan use a flax egg

Roasted red peppers, I use a small can  

Carrots, peeled and grated

Corn, I use a small can  

Olive oil for frying

Add the garlic, shallot and spices and pulse until chopped. Then add the lime juice, egg (or flax egg), beans and roasted red peppers, pulse until roughly chopped.

Finally the corn and the carrot and pulse until just blended, you don’t want to break up the corn. Let the mixture rest.
