Ingredients
- 3 1/2 tbsp light mayonnaise
- 1/2 cup chopped scallions
- 3 tbsp chopped cilantro
- 3 cloves garlic
- 1 jumbo egg
- 1 tbsp cumin
- 1/4 to 1/2 tsp kosher salt
- 1 tsp hot sauce
- 1/2 cup quick oats
- 4 whole wheat 100 calorie buns
- 1 small hass avocado
- 1 tbsp canned chipotle in adobo sauce
- 16 oz can black beans
- 1/2 red bell pepper
Instructions
- 1
Mix together the mayonnaise and chipotle, then set this combination aside for later use.
- 2
After rinsing the beans, ensure they are thoroughly dried; excess moisture can prevent the patties from holding together.
- 3
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, use a fork to mash the beans until they reach a thick, paste-like consistency.
- 4
In a food processor, finely chop the bell pepper, cilantro, onion, and garlic. Afterward, incorporate the oats, followed by the eggs and seasonings.
- 5
Fold this mixture into the mashed beans until well combined.
- 6
Shape the mixture into four equal patties, using lightly oiled hands for ease, and place them on a flat surface lined with wax paper. (If the mixture feels too wet, refrigerate for 30 minutes or add an additional tablespoon of oats.)
- 7
Allow the patties to freeze for at least 2 hours before cooking, or keep them frozen until you’re ready to prepare them.
- 8
Preheat a skillet sprayed with cooking spray over medium heat and cook the frozen patties for approximately 7 minutes on each side.
- 9
For grilling, heat your grill to medium, lightly oil a piece of aluminum foil, and grill the patties for 7-8 minutes on each side. Alternatively, you can bake them in the oven at 375°F on a lightly greased baking sheet.
