Kid Tested Parent Approved Black Bean Burgers

hi everyone, yesterday went way too fast and I was enjoying life 
I apologize for not writing yesterday!
blog world, norm. norm, blog world.
My boyfriend surprised me with a date night!
He took me to see American Hustle just because
I LOVE Jennifer Lawrence.
I enjoyed it and we went and enjoyed wings
and beers with a few friends after which I really enjoyed.

My parents work so hard every day so I decided to make
them a nice healthy meal tonight. I took a class last semester
that taught us how to cook foods in relation to nutrition and this
was one of my favorite recipes of the semesters.
I started by placing the black beans in a food processors to 
mush them up enough to make a paste
 (i tried to keep some beans whole as well).
I added the onion, breadcrumbs, salsa, cumin, 
and hot pepper sauce (I used RedHot).
I salt and peppered them just for flavor and started making the 
patties.
I tried to make them about a hand full and then patted
them down to look like a burger.
When my skillet was hot enough I placed them in with 
a good amount of olive oil. 
After three minutes on each side I took them off 
and placed them into tortillas.
You can pick your toppings of choice (avocado, olives
cheese, etc). I wrapped them up like a taco and dinner was served!


My parents definitely approved (which is tough, they're AMAZING cooks).
My mom ate two! They were gone so quick! Very Yummy!
