I love a good and quick meal, and this burger fits the bill perfectly.
Servings

Ingredients
- cooking spray, for greasing
- one 15-ounce can black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1/4 cilantro, minced
- 1 ground cumin
- 1/2 dried oregano
- salt and pepper, to taste
- cayenne, to taste
- 1/4 breadcrumbs, plus more as needed
- 3 whole-wheat hamburger buns
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
- Grease a cookie sheet with cooking spray or line with parchment paper and set aside. Pulse the beans in food processor until mashed well, or mash manually using a potato masher or fork. Transfer to a mixing bowl and stir in the cilantro, cumin, and oregano. Season with salt, pepper, and cayenne, to taste.
- Add breadcrumbs as necessary until the mixture can be handled and isn’t terribly sticky, about ¼ cup. If after ¼ cup it’s still too sticky and difficult to work with, place in the refrigerator for 5-10 minutes.
- Shape the mixture into 3 patties. Lightly spray each patty with cooking spray and transfer to the cookie sheet. Place in the oven and bake for 7 minutes. Flip, re-spray, and bake for 7-10 more minutes until crisp on the outside and thoroughly warm. Remove from the oven.
- Serve immediately on buns. (Because there is no oil, these patties dry out as they sit so eat them right away.)
