Mexican Bean Burgers
Makes 8 burgers
1 1-pound can black beans, rinsed and drained (or 2 cups of cooked beans)
1 cup cooked brown rice, preferrably warm
1/4 cup very finely minced onion
3 Tablespoons ketchup
1 to 2 teaspoons chili powder
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
salt and pepper to taste
Combine all ingredients in a large bowl.
Mash with a fork or potato masher until beans are mashed well and mixture is thoroughly combined.
Divide mixture evenly and form into 8 burgers, 1/2 to 3/4 inch thick.
Wet your hands slightly, if necessary, to avoid sticking.
Lightly oil a nonstick skillet or griddle or spray with a nonstick cooking spray.
Preheat over medium heat.
Place burgers in skillet and cook until browned on both sides, turning burgers over several times.
