Black Bean Burger Wraps
I love this recipe because you can really make them your own. When making the base for the black bean burgers you can really incorporate a lot by sauteing your veggies, letting them cool and then adding them to the burger mix.
So dont be afraid to experiment with what you have on hand. These can even be frozen and saved for later and also make for the best tacos.

Instructions
Step 1
I always like to start by getting all my mise en place together. Washing produce, chop vegetables and roasting chunks of sweet potato.
Step 2
Once all your veg prep is out in front. Get a sauté pan nice and hot and sauté half of what you measured out for your veg. For example, sauté 1/4 cup onion, half a jalapeno, 1 tbsp garlic and 1 cup kale. Once sauteed, place aside to cool.
Step 3
In a big bowl, dump your drained beans, sweet potato, garlic, onion.. everything in the above patty recipe. Once you have added everything including the flour, panko and seasonings. With your hands give everything a good mash, combining everything.
Step 4
Once the patty mixture is thoroughly mixed, begin rolling and making your patties in your desired thickness and shape like burger patties. Then coat each one in the breading. Set on to a sheet pan and place your full tray of patties into the fridge or freezer to set a bit while making the other items needed for dish. By allowing the patties to set this will help them to not fall apart once placed into the hot oil for frying (you can also store them in the freezer to cook later on).
Step 5
Prepare the Sweet N Spicy Slaw Dressing as well as the slaw itself and set aside. Prepare a pot of hot oil or a cast iron pan with some oil. These patties taste wayyy better deep fried…of course. However these can be pan seared. I have not attempted baking or air frying them as I dont think that would do a whole lot for us here with our panko breading.
Step 6
Drop each burger 1 at a time in the pot of oil, cook until crispy and probably longer than you think they need since they’re thick. Once fried allow them to dry off on a paper towel to remove excess grease.
Step 7
These are so good in wraps, as burgers and are so good shaped smaller to fit in tacos - truly amazing.
