Black beans just don’t get the recognition that they deserve! I mean sure, they get made fun of for the bodily functions that they seem to inspire. I even have a little childhood poem going through my head as I write this. What can I say? I live in a house of boys!
Black beans are little powerhouses of fibre, folate and protein. They are actually a complete protein when paired with rice. This is good to know if you are a vegetarian! They are inexpensive and they fill you up! This is also good to know if you are a new College or University student on a budget!
Today I want to share with you a recipe for super yummy black bean burgers. They are easy to throw together and taste so good!

Notes
If you are making these burgers on your grill, you may need to brush avocado oil your grill first to prevent sticking. Play it safe and do this before lighting your grill.
