Poblano Black Bean Veggie Burgers with Elote Salsa

Step 1

Place 2½ cups of the beans in a large bowl and mash until smooth. Stir in the eggs, 1 tbsp oil, cumin, salt, and cayenne. Add in the remaining beans, panko, poblano pepper and cilantro, stirring until combined.

Step 2

Form the burger mix into 6 patties. 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. Set aside.

Step 3

Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium high heat. Add the corn and jalapeno to the pan. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 8-10 minutes or until the corn starts to become charred.

Step 4

Remove from the heat. Stir in the mayonnaise, cotija cheese, and chili powder. Season to taste with lime juice and salt.

Step 5

Serve the burgers on buns topped with generous spoonfuls of the elote salsa.
