2 cloves garlic
2 tbsp Tajín Clasico
2 tsp cumin powder or seeds
1 tsp cayenne pepper *adjust to your desired spiciness
1 ½ tsp sea salt
14 oz canned black beans unsalted
1 cup fresh cilantro chopped
½ cup quick cooking oats or oat bran
4 vegan burger buns

Toppings

4 leaves romaine lettuce
1 ripe tomato sliced
1/2 cup guacamole * add some Tajín to your guac ;)
1 avocado optional

Tajín Vinaigrette

2 tbsp fresh lime juice from about 1 lime
2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
1 tbsp dijon mustard
2 tsp maple syrup or agave
1-2 tsp Tajín Clasico
1/2 tsp cumin powder or cumin seeds
1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil

Instructions

Add the red pepper and onion to the food processor, and pulse until minced. Pour into the large mixing bowl.
Add the pumpkin seeds, garlic cloves, Tajín, cumin, and sea salt to the food processor, and blend until it has combined into a grainy mixture. Pour into the large bowl with the onion and pepper.
Add the beans and cilantro to the processor, and blend until almost smooth (a few chunks of bean is okay). Pour into the large bowl.
Pour your oats into the mixing bowl with the other ingredients, and stir well to combine.
Form into tight palm-sized patties, and place each into an airfryer, or baking sheet. Air fry at 350°for 10 minutes. If baking, bake at 350° for 25 minutes. If they stick to the parchment paper, bake 5-10 minutes more.

Tajín Vinaigrette

Place the ingredients into a jar
Tighten the lid and shake until emulsified and creamy.
Pour over jicama and mango slices, and toss romaine lettuce with the dressing. Serve with the spicy black bean burgers.

Notes

Recipe Pro Tips:

If the patties aren't holding together or they are too wet, add more oats a little at a time until you reach the desired consistency.
Freeze individual patties by placing wax or baking paper between patties, then store in a freezer-safe container. They can be frozen before or after baking them.
