These are SO GOOD. I've been craving a good black bean burger for while now and decided to try making my own. They turned out delicious. I added adobo spice mix and a bit of fresh cilantro, then I topped them with ketchup, jack and cheddar cheese, tomato, onion, and sliced avocado on a french hamburger roll and I DIED. These rival my favorite restaurant's black bean burgers. I keep them separated into patties by wax paper in tupperware in the fridge and fry them up when I'm ready to eat. They'll go in the freezer for later once I tire of eating them for every meal!

I am in LOVE with this recipe! It is so quick and easy to prepare, and it tastes awesome. I nixed the onion since I don't like onions and added jalapenos to add some more spice. UPDATE: I have been making these without the green chili sauce. I added water, extra salsa, cayenne and jalapeno or serrano peppers. These are pretty spicy, but always hit the spot. I have been cooking an extra one for dinner and packaging it for work. tastes great reheated in the microwave! Thanks again for such a great recipe.

Not a vegetarian, just like to change things up and bit and eat healthy. LOVED these burgers...very different. I did have to make a few changes due to availability of what was on hand... Garlic powder used instead of minced, canned corn instead of frozen (added during the cooling step), no chili sauce so I used Recipezaar's substitution recipe (which was perfect) and accidentally opened a can of green chilis, so I used that instead of salsa and added some wheat germ for nutrition. Ate as a pattie dipped in ketchup and mustard mixed and plan on eating left overs as "actual" burgers. Highly recommend trying this recipe if in the mood for something different!

I am a vegetarian and I love to cook. I have been trying to incorporate whole wheat into my baked goods and have been eating much healthier foods. I really don't have a favorite cookbook, I mainly try different recipes out on the internet.
