Ingredients
Burger patty:
- 2 15-oz. can of black beans drained, rinsed, and dried on paper towels
- 1 large shallot roughly chopped
- 4-5 cloves garlic peeled and cut in half
- 2 tbsp cumin

Instructions
-
Preheat to 385F.

Add all your burger patty ingredients to a food processor. Process until clumps together. I like to keep it chunky.
-
Split your mixture into 4 patties. Shape them into flat cylinders like you would burgers.
-
Lightly brush the bottom and top of each patty with olive oil and place on a baking tray.
-
Bake 20 minutes.
-
Use tongs to flip each burger. Bake another 10 minutes.
-
Assemble your burgers by placing the lettuce on the bottom bun, top with sliced tomatoes, a burger patty, avocado, drizzle with salsa or aji verde, and cover with the top of your bun.
