SPICY BLACK BEAN BURGERS


Recipe adapted from spoonforkbacon.com

This is a flavor-packed spicy black bean burger, studded with corn (because corn is awesome) and loaded with spices. These burgers are great, but still rather soft and delicate and should be handled gently while cooking them. You can enhance them with just about any topping and condiment of your choice, plus they’re super easy to make and really fill you up.

  • 1/2 yellow onion, chopped
  • 1 jalapeno, seeded and chopped
