Pinto Bean Burgers

Pinto Bean Burgers

*Serves 1*

Ingredients:

• 1/3 cup pinto beans or black beans, if preferred (best if no salt is added, otherwise rinse well before using)
• 1 tbsp whole wheat flour
• 1 tsp worcestershire sauce
• minced spinach, onion, and red pepper (about 1/2 tbsp each)
• sprinkle of dill, red pepper flakes, black pepper
• 1/2 tsp water

Directions:

Combine all ingredients in a bowl.  Using a fork, mash everything together until you get something that looks like this.

Form a patty with the mashed ingredients using your hands.  Put the patty onto a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.

Let sit for 3-5 minutes or until slightly browned.  You should be able to shake the patty loose on the skillet when each side is done.  Using a spatula, flip the burger over and let sit for another 3-4 minutes or until slightly browned.  Place the patty onto a toasted, whole wheat bun and top with your favorite dressings.  Personally, I just like a little ketchup and mustard, but play around with your tastes!

Enjoy!
