DIRECTIONS

For the sauce: Combine yogurt, Sriracha and cilantro. Set aside.
Add to a food processor the black beans, green peppers, garlic cloves, and red onion. Pulse until pureed. I prefer to leave a few semi-whole beans. Transfer to a medium sized bowl.
Add the egg and mix well.
Add to the bean mixture: the cumin, chili powder, onion powder, cilantro, salt and pepper. Mix thoroughly. Add the panko and mix to combine.
Preheat grill pan or skillet on medium-high heat.
Form patties and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side. Transfer to rolls and top with Sriracha sauce and toppings, if desired.
