1 (15 ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained
1 egg
½ cup chopped red bell pepper
1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro
1 teaspoon chili powder
½ teaspoon ground cumin
½ teaspoon garlic powder
1 dash hot sauce, or more to taste
⅓ cup cornmeal
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

Steps:

Mix black beans, egg, red bell pepper, cilantro, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, and hot sauce in a large bowl with your hands until evenly mixed.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap; refrigerate 8 hours to overnight.
Divide mixture into 1/3 cup portions; shape into 3-inch burgers.
