I’ve been getting up really early lately.
And I mean realllllyyyy early. I mean 5:30 early. Practically sunrise early.
Not by choice of course.
No it’s been Jack the big golden retriever pooch that has been dictating my wake up times. D and I are housesitting here in Costa Rica, and Jack seems to want his breakfast at 5:30 in the morning.
I know – completely unnecessary. And I know what you’re thinking – why not feed him later?
Well when you’ve got a 90 pound bundle breathing into your sleeping face with his morning breathe – you’ll be up too. So when I’m up at 5:30 and eating breakfast at 6:00am I’m pretty much ready for lunch at 10:00am.
No joke.
Does this happen to just me? No matter what I eat for breakfast I am hungrryyy again for another meal within just a couple hours. Anyone else out there with me?
And I’m not eating super small breakfasts – I’m really having a full meal.
Either way, 10am rolls around and it’s lunch time around here.
I want something hearty, and I want it now.
Well now aka 30 minutes from now when I whip up a super quick low fuss meal.
Meet the chipotle vegan black bean burger recipe.
We’re talking only six key ingredients in this vegan black bean burger recipe : chipotles in adobo, black beans, red pepper, limes, quinoa, and gluten free flour. Well + salt and olive oil (but you’ve got to have that on hand already or we can’t even talk right now).
Remember when I confessed that I just discovered chipotles in adobo last month? I know I know, unacceptable but since I have finally cooked with them you know that I love them and want to promote them to everyone all the time.
All day every day chipotle in adobo everywhere.
Such a spice kick with a real depth of flavor.
The vegan black bean burger recipe comes together in a food processor and then you just sprinkle a bit of flour on top, form six neat little round patties and pan fry in olive oil.
That’s it.
30 minute meatless lunch or dinner coming your way.
Eat with bread or if you’re like me and love your greens, wrap up in lettuce leaves with a generous dollop of vegan basil pesto and lots of avocado slices. You could even use different herbs or make smaller pieces and convert this vegan black bean burger recipe for pastas or pizzas – it’s that versatile!
Firm, hearty and flavorful vegan black bean burger coming your way.

Vicky,
These look like a perfectly sensible mid-morning snack! Perhaps your 90 lb early-rising golden retriever needs to get together with my 90 lb can’t-drap-his-butt-out-of-bed-till-9:30am golden doodle. Maybe your’s can learn to sleep in a bit and mine can learn to wake me up earlier!
Vicky says
Haha I will happily switch the dogs! You will get your early morning wake up call and I’ll finally be able to sleep in!!

Yes dog breath on sleepy face is the worst!!! You have got to get yourself a can of chipotles in adobo – I just tried it for the first time myself last month and LOVE it!

These look healthy. Love that there is no bread. Great photo too.

Bread totally optional. I personally prefer to just wrap them in lettuce leaves!

I love how flavorful these are! And they don’t look dry at all–sometimes bean burgers can get kinda dry

Thanks! Nope not dry at all!
