Step-by-Step Instructions

1
Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. In a large bowl, mash the black beans using a fork or a potato masher. Add the chipotle peppers, olive oil, onion, garlic, cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper to the bowl and stir until well combined.
2
Using your hands, shape the black bean mixture into 4-6 patties, depending on the desired size. Place the patties on a plate or tray and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to set.
3
Grill the patties for 4-5 minutes per side, or until they are golden brown and crispy on the outside and cooked through. Transfer the patties to a plate and cover with foil to keep warm.
4
Toast the whole wheat buns on the grill or in a toaster. Assemble the burgers by spreading a slice of avocado on the bottom bun, followed by a black bean patty, a slice of queso fresco, and a sprinkle of cilantro. Drizzle with lime juice and serve immediately.
