Instructions

1. Pre-heat your oven to 400 degrees F and lightly grease a baking sheet. Set aside.
2. In a medium bowl, smash black beans. I usually start with my hands to get them going and then finish them with a fork. Get em good and pasty.
3. Chuck the pepper, onion, and garlic into a food processor and pulse until finely chopped. This only takes a few seconds. Don't pulverize them too long though or you'll end up with a liquidy mess. Stir into mashed beans.
4. In a small bowl, whisk together egg, chili powder, cumin, and sriracha. Dump into mashed bean/veggie mixture and combine well.
5. Mix in bread crumbs until the mixture is sticky and holds together. You may or may not need to add another 1/4 C of breadcrumbs depending on the water content of your veggies.
6. Divide mixture into six portions. Careful not to man-handle them too much, roll/shape into balls in the palm of your hand and squish into patties - if you play with them too much they won't stick together.
7. Place on the baking sheet and bake in the oven about 12 minutes - gently flip - and bake 12 minutes more.
8. Remove from the oven and serve with whatever toppings you prefer.
9. Eat.
