Step-by-Step Instructions
1
In a large bowl, mash the canned black beans using a fork or a potato masher until they're mostly smooth.
2
In a large pan, heat 2 tablespoons of oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until caramelized, stirring occasionally.
3
Add the minced garlic to the pan and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly to prevent burning.
4
In a large bowl, combine the cooked lentils, mashed black beans, caramelized onion, garlic, and BBQ sauce. Mix well until everything is fully incorporated.
5
Using your hands, shape the mixture into 4-6 patties, depending on the desired size. Place the patties on a plate or tray and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to set.
6
Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Cook the patties for 4-5 minutes per side, or until they're golden brown and crispy.
7
Assemble the burgers by spreading a layer of BBQ sauce on the bottom bun, followed by a cooked patty, a few slices of red onion, a sprinkle of cilantro, and finally the top bun.
