by:
Serves: 6 burgers
Ingredients
  • 2 cans (15. 5-ounces each) black beans drained, 1 can left whole, 1 can fork-mashed
  • 1 cup dry breadcrumbs
  • 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
  • ¾ cup prepared salsa, divided
  • ¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1 teaspoon each: ground cumin and coarsely ground pepper
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 tablespoon oil
  • 2 avocadoes, mashed
  • ½ cup Greek yogurt
  • 2 teaspoons lime juice
  • Salt and ground black pepper
  • 6 slices red onion
Instructions
  1. Mix beans, breadcrumbs, eggs, salsa, cilantro, cumin, pepper, and garlic powder in a medium bowl. Divide into 6 equal portions and flatten into 4-inch patties.
  2. About 20 minutes before serving, heat all burners of a gas grill on high. Use a wire brush to clean grill rack, then use tongs to wipe an oil-soaked rag over it. Close lid and return to temperature. Alternatively, build a hot charcoal fire.
  3. Lightly brush burger tops with oil. Place burgers, oiled side down on hot rack, cover and grill until spotty brown, about 3 minutes. Lightly brush tops with oil and turn. Cover and continue to grill until burgers are spotty brown on remaining side, about 3 minutes longer. Place buns on grill rack, turn off heat, and let burgers and buns continue to cook until cheese melts and buns are warm.
  4. Meanwhile, mix 2 mashed ripe avocados with, lime juice and salt and pepper to taste. Mix remaining ¼ cup salsa with yogurt. Spread a portion of yogurt sauce over each bun bottom. Set burger on bun bottom, top with a portion of guacamole, red onion, and yogurt sauce. Cap with bun top, and serve immediately.
