Step

Heat olive oil in the same skillet over medium heat. Cook and stir onion until lightly browned. (about 5 minutes). Season with salt and pepper.

03

Step

Mash black beans in a large bowl using a fork. Add walnuts, onion, rice, barbecue sauce, cornflake crumbs, brown sugar, chili powder, paprika, and cumin. Season with salt and pepper; stir until mixture is well combined and holds together. Shape into 10 burgers.

04

Step

Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate. Place burgers on aluminum foil and grill until browned. (5-8 minutes per side).

For optimal flavor, allow the burger mixture to rest in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before grilling. This allows the flavors to meld together and helps the burgers hold their shape.
If you don't have a grill, these burgers can also be pan-fried in a skillet or baked in the oven.
Feel free to experiment with different variations by adding other vegetables, spices, or herbs to the mixture.
