Lighten up your burger! Bean patties have less saturated fat and more fiber than beef patties. They're also cheaper and easier to cook indoors--and we promise they're just as satisfying, especially with the mouthwatering creamy slaw on top.

Ingredients

1 (15 ounce) can no-salt-added black beans, rinsed
2 cloves garlic, minced, divided
½ teaspoon ground cumin
½ teaspoon salt, divided
⅛ teaspoon ground pepper
¼ cup crushed tortilla chips or panko breadcrumbs
¼ cup quick-cooking oats
2 tablespoons toasted pumpkin seeds, chopped
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro plus 1/2 cup, divided
1 large egg, lightly beaten
¼ cup low-fat plain Greek yogurt
½ avocado
1 teaspoon lime zest
2 tablespoons lime juice
2 tablespoons water
4 cups shredded cabbage (green and/or red)
2 teaspoons olive oil
4 whole-wheat buns, halved and toasted

Steps:

Combine beans, half the garlic, cumin, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and pepper in a medium bowl. Mash with a fork until all the beans are smashed. Stir in crushed chips (or panko), oats, pumpkin seeds, 2 tablespoons cilantro, and egg.
Divide the mixture into 4 portions, then shape into patties. Place on a plate and refrigerate for 30 minutes before cooking.
Meanwhile, combine the remaining 1/2 cup cilantro, the remaining garlic, yogurt, avocado, lime juice, and water in a blender or food processor. Puree until smooth. Transfer to a large bowl. Stir in lime zest and the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt. Add cabbage and toss to combine.
Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the patties and cook for 6 minutes. Turn them over, reduce heat to medium, cover and cook until golden brown and warmed through, 5 to 6 minutes more. Serve the burgers on buns, topped with 1/4 cup cabbage slaw each. Serve the remaining slaw on the side.

Number Of Ingredients 9

Ingredients

2 cans (15.5 ounces each) red kidney beans, rinsed and drained
1 medium carrot, peeled and shredded (about 1/2 cup)
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 teaspoon dried oregano
3/4 cup dried breadcrumbs
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Hamburger buns, romaine-lettuce leaves, sliced avocado, sliced red onion, sour cream, and lime wedges, for serving

Steps:

Lightly mash beans in a large bowl, leaving some whole. Add carrot, chili powder, oregano, breadcrumbs, and eggs. Season generously with salt and pepper; stir until thoroughly combined. Divide mixture into 4 portions and form into patties.
Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add patties and cook, undisturbed, until bottom forms a browned crust and most of oil is absorbed, 10 to 12 minutes. Flip patties and add remaining 1 tablespoon oil to pan, swirling to coat bottom. Cook, undisturbed, until browned on other side and heated through, 8 to 10 minutes. Serve on buns with accompaniments.
