You can keep burgers in your diet and still build ridiculous muscle at the same time—so long as you’re making this high-protein, low-carb black bean recipe. Black beans are a great source of protein (not to mention, fiber, calcium, and iron), and the bevvy of spices add flavor and depth.

Makes 6 servings

Prep time 15 min.

Cook time 10 min.

Ingredients

2 15.5-oz cans of black beans, drained but not rinsed 1 egg 1 cup of panko bread crumbs 1 jalapeño, minced 1/4 cup of red onion, minced 1/4 tsp of kosher salt 1/4 tsp of ground black pepper 1/2 tsp of garlic powder 1/2 tsp of onion powder 1/2 tsp of curry powder Fresh brioche buns Slices of pepper jack cheese Tomato slices Red onion Baby spinach leaves Guacamole

How to make it

Drain the black beans and shake them around in a strainer, but do not rinse. Put the beans in a large bowl and, with a fork, mash them until 3/4 of the mixture is mashed. Leave 1/4 of the beans in full form for texture. Add the panko bread crumbs, egg, and seasoning. With the fork, fold the ingredients in until everything is completely combined. With clean hands, start forming the patties. A heaping handful should make one good-sized patty. If not making the patties right away, wrap and place in the refrigerator. Heat a lightly greased skillet over moderate heat. Carefully place the patties onto the skillet. Cook for 4 minutes or until lightly browned, then carefully flip. Cook for another 4 minutes or until lightly browned. Place cheese slices on top of patty and cover with a lid to steam the cheese. Remove the patties from the skillet, place on brioche bun, and dress the burger as you wish.
