Method

1. Black beans: after opening the can, place in a strainer and rinse with water. Drain excess water and pat dry with paper towel, to ensure all excess moisture is removed.
2. Place black beans in a large bowl and roughly mash with a fork. Next, add all other burger ingredients. Using hands, mix thoroughly to combine.  
3. Form into 6 large patties. Place patties on a baking tray lined with baking paper, and place in the freezer for at least 1 hour. Doing this will ensure the burger patties are firm and do not break apart when they are being cooked.   
4. Brush a large pan or barbecue grill with 1 tbsp olive oil. Cook patties for 10 minutes each side. Alternatively, place in oven (use the baking paper lined baking tray) at a temperature of 180 degrees and cook for 20 minutes. Turn the burgers at the 10-minute mark to ensure they are evenly cooked.  
5. Arrange salad ingredients on each plate. Drizzle with a little lime juice and 1 tbsp olive oil. Top with burger patty, cheese and sauce of your choice sauce e.g., hot sauce, tomato sauce, Tzatziki, mayonnaise, tomato relish, mustard etc
