ingredients

2 chilies
1 bunch cilantro
2 (15 ounce) cans black beans
1 ³⁄₄ cups breadcrumbs
3 cups mexican cheese
2 eggs
cumin
2 garlic cloves

directions

Finely chop the chilis and cilantro.
Either mash or lightly process the beans in a food processor.
Beat the 2 eggs.
Crush the garlic or finely chop it.
Place everything in a bowl and mix it up. Your hands are probably the best tool, as you'll end up kneading.
Roll the whole thing into a large sausage shape (however big you want the burgers to be) and cut into slices. If you chill the sausage for a while, cutting will be easier, but that isn't a must.
Saute the patties at low heat till browned on each side. This might take about 10 minutes to do it right.
Serve how you like your burger.
