Nachos and black bean burgers recipe

Ingredients

• 1 Can Black Beans (15 oz), Rinsed
• ½ cup Blue Corn Tortilla Chips, Finely Crushed
• ⅔ cup Salsa (Keep ⅓ aside for serving time)
• ½ cup Grated Cheddar
• 1 Large Egg, Lightly Beaten with a Fork
• 1 Scallion, Finely Sliced (White and green parts)
• ¼ Tsp Freshly Ground Black Pepper

• 4 Round Rolls
• A Splash or Two of Oil (2 Tsp if you really want to measure it)
• 4 Lettuce Leaves

Make the Patties
1. Mash or pulse the beans in a food processor until chunky, don’t worry if a few are whole still. Mix in the crushed chips, salsa, cheese, egg, chopped scallion and black pepper.
2. Leave the mixture to rest for 10 minutes and then shape into 4 patties. Place patties on a plate, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate at least 30 minutes or overnight.
To Cook
3. When you are ready to cook, heat the oven to 350°F to warm the buns for 5 minutes.
4. Meanwhile, heat your pan with 1 Tsp oil over medium heat. Pop the patties in the pan and cook until golden brown on one side (5 min).
5. Add the remaining oil and flip them over to cook for yet another 5 min.
To Serve
6. If you want to, you can serve them on buns. Otherwise, just serve them with salsa and lettuce.
