Vegetarian Black Bean Burger

2 cups of fresh black beans OR 1 can (15 ounces) black beans, drained, rinsed and mashed
1/4 cup finely chopped onion
1/3 cup fresh corn OR canned corn
1/4 cup chunky salsa.  I like to use medium salsa
1 teaspoon minced garlic OR 1 garlic clove pressed 
2 tablespoons cilantro OR parsley   ( I used basil last time and it was also good)
1/4 teaspoon salt if needed (I usually don't use salt)
1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/2 cup seasoned bread crumbs OR fresh bread crumbs with added seasoning
1 egg
 
Mash beans.  Add onion, corn, salsa, garlic, salt, pepper and spice of choice. Add bread crumbs and egg and mix well.  Form bean burgers.  Fry in skillet in a little olive oil.  Fry about 6-8 minutes or until brown.  I like to add salsa after I turn the burger over and then add some cheese.  Serve on a bun or plate.
They also freeze well before cooked.  
 Enjoy  :)
