These spicy homemade black bean burgers are healthy & easy to make using corn, veggies and a kick of flavor from Texas Pete® Original Hot Sauce. They're topped with a spicy avocado sauce for even more flavor and can be baked or grilled!
These homemade black bean burgers are my go-to recipe when I want something healthy and easy to make.
Made without bread crumbs and with oats makes them even healthier and gluten free!
And besides being healthy, these black bean burgers are loaded with good-for-you flavor.
I love the little kick of spice they have from the pepper jack cheese and my favorite Texas Pete® Hot Sauce.
I easily ordered my bottles of hot sauce online right through the Texas Pete® website, while staying safe & comfy on my couch in my PJs.
Just a couple clicks away from pure deliciousness ;).
P.S.
If you're looking to spice up your delivery and takeout food, add Texas Pete® Original Hot Sauce!
It adds a little zing and personality, making these black bean burgers stand out from the rest (in the best way possible!)
Aside from ordering it online, you can also easily find Texas Pete® Original Hot Sauce (and their other awesome varieties) by using their store locator here.
Spicy homemade black bean burger ingredients:
- Texas Pete® Original Hot Sauce
- black beans
- yellow corn
- bell pepper
- onion
- garlic
- egg (see recipe notes for vegan variation)
- rolled oats
- smoked paprika
- fresh cilantro
You don't have to be a professional cook to make the best black bean burgers and you certainly don’t have to be a top chef to be a part of the Texas Pete® Tribe.
All it takes is some simple, fresh ingredients and a dash of hot sauce to make these burgers taste restaurant quality ;).
How to make black bean burgers from scratch?
- Preheat oven to 375 F. Line a baking sheet with parchment or aluminum foil.
- Pat your rinsed black beans until mostly dried. Add to food processor and pulse just until they form a thick paste (it's okay if there's still chunks). Transfer to a large bowl.
- Add oats to the processor and blend until they're a fine crumb. Add to bowl with the black beans.
- Heat oil in large saute pan. Add onions, corn, bell pepper, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Cook until veggies are softened, about 5 minutes.
- Turn heat up to medium-high and cook veggies a couple minutes longer until they've browned (but not burnt!). Remove from heat and add to bowl with beans and oats.
- Add paprika, Texas Pete® Original Hot Sauce, cilantro, a pinch of salt and pepper. Stir to combine well (Don't be afraid to use your hands to mix it really good!)
- Form into patties and place on baking sheet.
- Bake 10 minutes per side or until edges start to brown slightly.
The great thing about these black bean burgers is that they can be baked or grilled!
For Grilled Black Bean Burgers:
1. Preheat grill to medium-high heat.
2. Place aluminum foil on the grill grates and spray with non stick cooking spray.
3. Once grill is hot, add the burgers and cook 8 minutes per side.
Black bean burger toppings:
- spicy avocado sauce (recipe below)
- sliced tomato
- lettuce
- pickled red onions
- avocado
- pepper jack cheese
Serve the burgers on a bun, multigrain bread, in a wrap or just over a salad!
You can even make the patties ahead of time and store in your freezer for up to 3 months. They can be stored cooked or uncooked.
My personal favorite toppings for these homemade spicy black bean burgers are my spicy avocado sauce, a slice of tomato, red onion and lettuce.
The avocado mayo is easy to make with simple ingredients:
- Texas Pete® Original Hot Sauce
- avocado
- mayo (or Greek yogurt)
- fresh cilantro
- lime juice
- garlic powder
- salt
- pepper
Texas Pete® Original Hot Sauce is flavorful all on it's own so I like to keep it simple when it comes to these burgers.
Aside from this hot sauce being SO GOOD, I love how the Texas Pete® brand calls their brand loyalists “The Tribe."
The Texas Pete® brand represents a certain attitude and way of living that helps influence the behavior of its fans. This attitude gives them the confidence to be edgy, rebellious or fun to enhance any situation - whatever it takes to amplify their experience and continue to live life as a true Texas Pete® Tribe member.
After making these black bean burgers I hope you join the tribe :).

Instructions
Spicy Black Bean Burgers
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil. Place drained black beans on a paper towel. Spread out and place another paper towel on top to absorb as much moisture as possible.
- Meanwhile, heat oil over medium heat in large saute pan. Add corn, bell pepper, onions and garlic. Cook, stirring occasionally until vegetables are tender, about 10 minutes.
- Once softened, turn heat to medium-high and cook additional 2-3 minutes until vegetables start to brown (not burn!). Remove and set aside.
- Place black beans in food processor and pulse until thick, yet still somewhat chunky. Transfer to a large mixing bowl.
- Place rolled oats in the food processor and pulse until they resemble a fine crumb. Add to bowl with the black beans.
- Add to your bowl: sauteed veggies, paprika, chili powder, cayenne pepper (if using), Texas Pete® Original Hot Sauce and egg. Stir well to combine (I like mixing with my hands!)
- Form into 6 equal patties and place on prepared baking sheet. Cook 10 minutes, flip over, and cook another 10 minutes.
Avocado Mayo
- Combine all ingredients in food processor. Pulse until smooth and creamy. Transfer to air tight container or jar. Store in refrigerator.
Serve Black Bean Burgers
- Serve burgers on a sesame seed bun with optional toppings, in a wrap, or over a salad.
Notes
*For vegan variation: substitute egg with either ¼ cup of mashed sweet potato or mix 1 tablespoon flax seed with 3 tbsp warm water. Omit mayo in avocado sauce.
*To grill: place aluminum foil on grill and spray with non stick cooking spray. Cook burgers on medium-high heat for 8 minutes per side.
*Burgers can be frozen (cooked or uncooked) for up to 3 months. I suggest storing them in a zip lock bag and placing a piece of parchment or wax paper in between each burger.

Omg so easy and well worth making. Have friends over tomorrow and wanted something a bit more than beef burgers. Made the mixture ahead of time along with avocado mayo. Made one for dinner. One word. Scrumptious! You have to try them
