These burgers are very flavourful and yet so easy to make - no blender or food processor needed. They are pretty soft (adding some flour, ground flax or oats may help to adsorb some of the moisture) but I have been enjoying these added on top of a salad to add extra protein. They would work well in a wrap too.
Heat oil a large frying pan or skillet at medium-high heat. Cook onions for a few minutes until soft. Remove from heat.
Add black beans to a large bowl and mashed with a fork or potato masher. Leave a few chunks for texture.
Add pumpkin, onions, cilantro, garlic and spices. Mix well to combine. Adjust seasoning amount to your preference.
Form into 5-6 patties and let sit for 10 minutes. Heat oil in frying pan and cook the patties at medium heat about about 3 minutes until a golden crust forms and then flip and cook the other side. Repeat for all patties.
Serve on salads or wraps. Would go great with sliced avocado or guacamole on top.
