Ingredients

15 ounce black beans (no salt added, drained and rinsed)
0.5 yellow onion (medium, finely diced)
0.5 red bell pepper (finely diced)
2 clove garlic (minced)
0.25 cup rolled oats
1 egg (large)
1 teaspoon chili powder
0.5 teaspoon ground cumin
0.25 teaspoon garlic powder
0.25 teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon olive oil
7 lettuce leaves (large)
1 green bell pepper (large, sliced)

Instructions

In a large bowl, mash the 15 ounce can of drained and rinsed black beans with a fork until mostly smooth, but still a little chunky.
Add 1/2 finely diced yellow onion, 1/2 finely diced red bell pepper, 2 cloves minced garlic, 1/4 cup rolled oats, 1 large egg, 1 teaspoon chili powder, 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin, 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper to the mashed beans. Mix thoroughly to combine.
Form the mixture into 3-4 patties (about 1/2 cup each).
Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Carefully place the patties in the skillet and cook for 4-6 minutes per side, until golden brown and heated through.
While patties cook, in a separate small pan, quickly sauté 1 large sliced green bell pepper with a splash of water for 3-5 minutes until tender-crisp.
Serve the spiced black bean patties wrapped in large lettuce leaves with a side of sautéed green bell pepper.
