INGREDIENTS

0.75 cup cooked black beans

1 tbsp hemp hearts

2 tbsp nutritional yeast

1 large egg white

0.25 cup red onion

1 clove garlic

0.5 tsp ground cumin

0.25 tsp smoked paprika

0.25 tsp sea salt

0.25 tsp black pepper

0.75 cup non-fat Greek yogurt

0.25 whole avocado

1 tbsp lime juice

1 tsp extra virgin olive oil

2 cup baby spinach

PREPARATION

• 1

  Drain and rinse the black beans, then place them in a medium bowl and mash with a fork until mostly smooth but still containing some texture.

• 2

  Stir in the hemp hearts, nutritional yeast, egg white, diced red onion, minced garlic, cumin, smoked paprika, sea salt, and black pepper until well combined.

• 3

  Form the mixture into two thick patties, pressing firmly with your hands to ensure they hold their shape.

• 4

  Heat the olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat and sear the patties for 4-5 minutes per side until a golden-brown crust forms.

• 5

  While the burgers cook, whisk together the Greek yogurt, mashed avocado, and lime juice in a small bowl until the crema is velvety and smooth.

• 6

  Arrange the baby spinach on a plate, place the black bean burgers on top, and finish with a generous dollop of the avocado crema.
