Ingredients

1 can black beans (rinsed and drained)
0.25 cup yellow onion (finely diced)
1 clove garlic (minced)
0.5 teaspoon ground cumin
0.5 teaspoon chili powder
0.25 teaspoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon gluten-free oat flour
2 tablespoon fresh cilantro (chopped)
1 tablespoon olive oil
0.5 teaspoon salt
0.25 teaspoon black pepper
4 corn tortillas
1 avocado (sliced)
1 cup shredded lettuce

Instructions

In a medium bowl, mash the 1 can rinsed and drained black beans with a fork or potato masher, leaving some whole for texture.
Add 1/4 cup finely diced yellow onion, 1 clove minced garlic, 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin, 1/2 teaspoon chili powder, 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 tablespoon gluten-free oat flour, 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper to the mashed beans. Mix until well combined.
Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and form into patties.
Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Carefully place the patties in the skillet and cook for 5 to 7 minutes per side, until golden brown and heated through.
While patties cook, warm 4 corn tortillas according to package directions (microwave or skillet).
Serve the black bean patties in the warm corn tortillas, topped with 1 each sliced avocado and 1 cup shredded lettuce.

You can add a dollop of your favorite salsa or a squeeze of lime juice for extra flavor.
