　　There are lots of meatless burgers in the world, but this Latin American-inspired recipe is especially satisfying without being stodgy. It's pantry-friendly to boot.

　　

Ingredients

Makes 4 servings

　　2 (14-ounce) cans black beans, rinsed and drained, divided

　　3 tablespoons mayonnaise

　　1/3 cup plain dry bread crumbs

　　2 teaspoons ground cumin

　　1 teaspoon dried oregano, crumbled

　　1/4 teaspoon cayenne

　　1/4 cup finely chopped cilantro

　　3 tablespoons vegetable oil

　　4 soft hamburger buns

　　Accompaniments: sour cream; salsa; lettuce

　　

Step 1

Pulse 1 can beans in a food processor with mayonnaise, bread crumbs, cumin, oregano, and cayenne until a coarse purée forms. Transfer to a bowl and stir in cilantro and remaining can beans. Form mixture into 4 patties.

　　

Step 2

Heat oil in a 12-inch heavy skillet over medium-high heat until it shimmers. Cook burgers until outsides are crisp and lightly browned, turning once, about 5 minutes total. Serve on buns.
