  • 3 tsp chipotle powder
  • 1 tsp cumin grind in mortar & pestle
  • 1 tsp sea salt
  • 1/2 tsp ground black pepper
  • 1 each egg beaten if using - omit if you want vegan burger patties
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 6 each hamburger buns
  • 1 cup mayonnaise (use a vegan one if that is your preference)
  • 1 each Blazin Chipotle bbq sauce use as a condiment in burger
  • 1 each large beefsteak tomato thickly sliced
  • 1 head butter lettuce rinse and dry leaves
  • 6 slices cheddar cheese optional
  • 1/2 each red onion thinly sliced

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit.

  2. Spread beans out onto baking sheet, and dry for 5 minutes or so at mid level of oven. Let cool down for another 5 minutes or so.

  3. pulse rolled oats a couple times in Vitamix, and add 2 tsp chipotle powder, ground cumin, salt, pepper.

  4. In a large bowl, add beans, oat & spice mixture, 1/4 of the mashed avocado, the olive oil, and beaten egg, and mash & mix with a fork until mixture comes together.

  5. Divide and form into 6 patties about 4-5" in diameter, and about 1" thick.

  6. Heat skillet, and add vegetable oil. Once it just starts to lightly smoke, add patties and fry for about 3-5 minutes on each side. Should have a golden crispy surface.

  7. While frying, add sliced burger buns to baking sheet and lightly toast in over (should still be at 325 degrees) - perhaps 4 minutes.

  8. Mix remaining mashed avocado, mayonnaise, 1 tsp chipotle powder and mix well.

  9. Prepare toasted bun by applying avocado mayo mixture to bottom, red onion, add bean burger, cheese, tomato (salt & pepper if you like), lettuce. Add some Blazin Chipotle bbq sauce to bun top, and enjoy!
