Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

  • 1 small onion, diced

  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

  • 1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and minced

  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano

  • ½ red bell pepper, diced

  • 1 ear corn, kernels cut from cob

  • 1 (15 ounce) can black beans, drained and rinsed

  • ½ cup plain bread crumbs

  • 4 teaspoons chili powder

  • 1 tablespoon minced fresh cilantro

  • ½ teaspoon ground cumin

  • ½ teaspoon salt

  • ½ cup all-purpose flour, or as needed

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil, or as needed

Directions

  1. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a skillet over medium heat; cook and stir onion, garlic, jalapeno pepper, and oregano until onions are translucent, 8 to 10 minutes. Cook and stir red bell pepper and corn into onion mixture until red bell pepper is tender, 2 to 4 more minutes.

  2. Mash black beans in a large bowl. Stir vegetable mixture, bread crumbs, chili powder, cilantro, cumin, and salt into mashed black beans. Divide mixture into 4 patties and coat both sides of each patty with flour.

  3. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a skillet over medium heat; cook patties until browned, 5 to 8 minutes on each side.

Cook’s Note

You can reduce the chili powder to 2 teaspoons to reduce the spiciness of the burgers.
