Easy Black Bean Burgers

Versión en español

I’m in love with this easy black bean burgers, they come together quickly, you can tailor the flavors to your liking, and they keep well in the fridge and warm perfectly on the microwave.

You can add cooked onions if you wish. And modify the spices, they are delicious with curry for example. Serve with assorted salads or roasted vegetables. And I also recommend them with melted cheese in vegetarian burgers.
