SPICY BLACK BEAN BURGERS WITH CHIPOTLE MAYONNAISE

Steps:

• Combine mayonnaise and chipotle, set aside.
• Dry the beans well after washing, extra moisture will keep the burgers from sticking.
• In a medium bowl, mash beans with a fork until thick and pasty.
• In a food processor, finely chop bell pepper, cilantro, onion, and garlic, then add oats, then eggs and spices.
• Then stir into mashed beans.
• Divide mixture into four patties (using slightly oiled hands helps) and place them onto a flat surface covered with wax paper. (If it's too wet, chill the mixture 30 minutes in the refrigerator or add another tablespoon of oats)
• Freeze at least 2 hours before cooking or keep frozen until ready to cook.
• Heat a lightly sprayed skillet to medium heat and cook frozen burgers about 7 minutes on each side.
• If grilling, preheat grill over medium heat, and lightly oil a sheet of aluminum foil; grill 7-8 minutes on each side or you can bake in the oven at 375° on a lightly oiled baking sheet.

CHIPOTLE BLACK BEAN BURGERS (VEGAN!)

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 400 F and spray a baking pan lightly with oil.
• Add the first five ingredients (chili through rice) to your food processor and pulse to chop. Then add the drained, rinsed black beans and process until beans are mostly broken down.
• Now begin adding the corn meal in small amounts, pulsing as you go. The mixture will likely remain somewhat "sticky"--that's fine. But you do want it to be "dry" enough to handle without it sticking to your hands. As you add the final bit of cornmeal, add salt and pepper and give the mix a taste for seasoning and make adjustments if necessary.
• Once you've incorporated the cornmeal and seasoned, pour into a separate bowl and allow to sit in the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes.
• Remove the chilled mix from the refrigerator, and portion by hand into four separate, burger-shaped patties. (I like to add a sprinkle of steak seasoning to the exterior at this point.) Place your shaped patties onto your prepped baking tray and slide them into the preheated oven. You will want to cook them about 8-10 minutes on this side, then take them out and flip before cooking an additional 5 minutes.
