Spicy Black Bean Burgers

These are pretty tasty, and I lucked out by finding canned beans that were labeled "spicy." They were already seasoned with cumin and chili powder, so I didn't need to add more spices. They do fall apart a bit, but they held up better than some black bean burgers I made in the past. I will definitely make these again.

Ingredients:

2 cans black beans (drained)
1 large egg white 
1 clove garlic
1 tsp chili powder 
Salt, pepper, and cumin to taste
1/2 cup of bread crumbs

Directions:
Add one can of black beans, garlic and onion to a blender or food processor.  Blend until almost smooth.  Pour mixture into a bowl.  Add remaining ingredients and mix well. Add a small amount of olive oil or pam cooking spray to a pan.  Scoop burgers into 9 even amounts.  Cook over medium heat for 5-7 minutes on each side. Serve on a one point bun and top with your favorite burger toppings.

Serves 9.  Each patty is 2 weight watcher points.  Add additional points for bun and toppings.
