Ingredients

  • ½ medium yellow onion, roughly chopped

  • 3 cloves garlic, chopped, or more to taste

  • 2 (15 ounce) cans black beans, rinsed and drained, divided

  • 1 large egg

  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro

  • 2 teaspoons chopped fresh parsley

  • 2 teaspoons red pepper flakes

  • 2 teaspoons chili powder

  • 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce

  • 1 teaspoon hot sauce, or more to taste

  • ½ cup bread crumbs, or more as needed

  • salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil, or as needed

Directions

  1. Pulse onion and garlic in a food processor until finely chopped. Add 1 can black beans, egg, cilantro, parsley, red pepper flakes, chili powder, Worcestershire sauce, and hot sauce; pulse to combine.

  2. Transfer mixture to a large mixing bowl. Add remaining black beans and bread crumbs. Season with salt and pepper and mix until well combined, adding up to 2 tablespoons bread crumbs if mixture seems too wet.

  3. Divide mixture into 6 portions and form into patties.

  4. Heat oil in a large grill pan over medium-low heat. Place patties on the hot pan and cook until heated through, about 6 minutes a side.

Cook's Note:

If you don't have access to a food processor, just mash beans by hand and mince other items.
