ingredients
- 4 medium jalapenos, cut in half lengthwise and seeded
- 2 (15 ounce) cans black beans, drained and rinsed
- 2 large eggs
- 5 tablespoons olive oil or 5 tablespoons other vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1⁄4 teaspoon salt
- 1⁄8 1/8 teaspoon dried ancho chile powder or 1/8 teaspoon dried chipotle powder
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 1 red bell pepper, seeded and finely chopped
- 1⁄4 cup minced cilantro
- 1 shallot, minced
- 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 6 ounces cheddar cheese slices
- 6 hamburger buns
directions
- Heat broiler to high. Place jalapenos, cut side down, on a foil-lined baking sheet and broil until totally blackened, about 10-15 minutes. Cover with the foil immediately upon removing from the oven and let sit for 5 minutes.
- Remove the skin from the jalapenos and finely chop the flesh. Set aside.
- Meanwhile, place 2 1/2 cups beans in a large bowl and mash until smooth. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, 1 tbsp oil, cumin, salt and cayenne. Stir together the egg mixture, remaining beans, panko, bell pepper, cilantro and shallot. Mix into the mashed beans.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the jalapenos and cream cheese.
- Form the burger mix into 6 patties. Divide the cream cheese mixture among the patties and stuff inside them so that the black bean mixture completely surrounds them.
- Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat until shimmering. Place 3 patties in the skillet. Cook until browned on both sides, about 4-5 minutes per side. Repeat with remaining oil and patties.
- Serve warm topped with cheddar cheese on a toasted bun.

I'm just me, mother, grandmother...friend to many and a Louisianian. My Cajun and French Quarter Italian descent afforded me exposure to some of the best of foods. My passions are my family, decorating, cooking and gardening. Those very passions push me into constant awareness with always looking for something new to delight the senses, thus my favorite idiom...Inspire me, puuuullllllleeeeeeease! ...and I mean it, too. God Bless America!
