Ingredients

• 15 oz (1 can, drained and rinsed) Red kidney beans
• 2 small (seeded and finely chopped) Jalapeno peppers
• 1 cup Rolled oats
• 3 tablespoons BBQ sauce
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Flour
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 4 Burger buns
• 4 Lettuce leaves
• 4 Tomato slices
• 4 tablespoons Vegan mayo or additional BBQ sauce (optional, for topping)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, mash the red kidney beans with a fork or potato masher until they are mostly smooth but still have a few chunks for texture.

Step 2

Add the chopped jalapenos, rolled oats, BBQ sauce, ground cumin, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper to the bowl. Mix thoroughly until well combined.

Step 3

Sprinkle in the flour and mix again. The mixture should hold together when pressed. If it's too wet, add a little more flour, 1 teaspoon at a time.

Step 4

Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each into a patty about 3/4 inch thick.

Step 5

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add two patties to the skillet and cook for 4–5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and warmed through. Repeat with the remaining olive oil and patties.

Step 6

While the patties are cooking, lightly toast the burger buns if desired.

Step 7

Assemble the burgers by placing a lettuce leaf on the bottom half of each bun, followed by a cooked patty, a slice of tomato, and a dollop of vegan mayo or extra BBQ sauce. Top with the upper bun.

Step 8

Serve immediately and enjoy your Jalapeno Red Bean BBQ Burgers with a side of fries, chips, or a salad!
