Ingredients
- 8 black bean burger patties (prepared)
- 8 whole wheat burger buns
- 1 package coleslaw mix (pre-shredded)
- 2 avocados (sliced)
- 2 Roma tomatoes (sliced)
- 0.5 red onion (thinly sliced)
- 0.5 cup spicy mayonnaise
Instructions
- Preheat a skillet or grill pan over medium heat. Cook the black bean burger patties according to package instructions, typically 4-6 minutes per side, until heated through and lightly browned. During the last minute of cooking, lightly toast the whole wheat burger buns on the pan.
- While burgers are cooking, prepare your toppings. Slice the avocados, Roma tomatoes, and red onion.
- Assemble the burgers: Spread spicy mayonnaise on the toasted buns. Place a cooked black bean patty on each bottom bun, then layer with pre-shredded coleslaw mix, sliced avocado, Roma tomatoes, and red onion.
- Serve immediately.
Notes
To adjust spice level, you can use regular mayonnaise or a milder sauce. For extra convenience, buy pre-sliced avocado from the produce section.
