SPICY BLACK BEAN SLIDERS WITH CHIPOTLE MAYONNAISE

Steps:

• Mix all ingredients together in a small bowl. Refrigerate in an airtight container until ready to use.
• Place beans in a small bow and mash with a fork or potato masher. Add egg, bread crumbs, adobo sauce, oregano, cumin, smoked paprika, cayenne (if using), salt and pepper. Mix well.
• Form into one-ounce patties - about 2 tablespoons per patty - by rolling mixture into a ball, packing together firmly, then flattening slightly.
• Add the olive oil to a large saute pan over medium heat. Working in batches so that the burgers aren't too crowded, cook one one side until browned - about 5 minutes, then carefully flip and cook until browned and cooked through, about 10 minutes total.
• Remove patties to a paper-towel-lined plate to drain and cool slightly.
• Put slider buns sliced-side up on a cookie sheet. Add black bean patties to the bottom halves of the buns and top with cheese. Place under oven broiler until cheese has melted and buns are golden brown, about one minute (depending on your broiler - just watch carefully!)
• Remove from oven and slather chipotle mayo on the inside of the bun tops. Top burgers with red onions and pickles, sandwich with the bun top, and secure with a toothpick or skewer. Serve immediately.

BEEF AND BLACK BEAN SLIDERS

Steps:

• Preheat the grill. In a medium bowl, mash the black beans, 1 tablespoon olive oil, and garlic powder with a potato masher or fork until very creamy. Gently mix the black bean mixture with the ground beef. Season the mixture liberally with salt and pepper. Divide the mixture into 8 equally portioned thin patties. Using a pastry brush, lightly coat the outside of the patties with mustard. Lightly brush the grill with the oil and place the burgers on the hot grill. Cook the burgers until a golden crust is formed, about 1 to 2 minutes per side. Slice the mini buns in half and brush with the remaining oil. Place the buns on the grill until nicely toasted with grill marks. Serve the sliders on the toasted hamburger buns, topped with crunchy Grilled Crunchy Coleslaw.
• Preheat a grill. Place the cabbage wedges on a baking sheet, and drizzle with the vegetable oil on both sides. Sprinkle with sugar, salt, and pepper, and then toss to coat. Grill the cabbage for 4 minutes each side, or 8 minutes total, turning once or until the edges begin to wilt, but the bulk of the cabbage remains crunchy. Remove the cabbage from the grill and allow to cool a few minutes. Meanwhile, make the vinaigrette in a medium bowl by whisking the orange zest, Dijon mustard, and orange juice with the olive oil until it emulsifies. Add salt, and pepper, to taste. Chop the grilled cabbage, removing the core, and place in the bowl with the dressing. Add the parsley and green onion and toss to coat.

BLACK BEAN SLIDERS

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine everything except the corn and black beans. Mix well. Add the black beans and corn.
• Mash with a fork until still chunky. If the black bean mixture is too dry, add the reserved black bean liquid a little at a time until it is like a thick paste.
• Let the mixture rest in the fridge for a few minutes. Shape into small patties and let sit in the fridge for 15 minutes.
• Heat a large pan over medium high heat and add the olive oil.
• Cook the burgers for 5 minutes on each side. The burgers will be nice and brown on the outside.
• Assemble the burgers and top with toppings.

BLACK BEAN SLIDERS

Steps:

• Place the mushrooms in a bowl and cover with 1 cup hot water. Let soak for 10 minutes to soften, then drain, reserving the water. Roughly chop the mushrooms.
• Place the oats in the base of a food processor and process to create a fine oat flour. Add in the rest of the ingredients and process on low for ~30 seconds until combined. The mixture should be cohesive and easily able to stick together, but not creamy and smooth. You want some texture of the beans visible, as in the photos above. If the mixture is too dry, add in a little of the reserved mushroom soaking water. If too wet, add in more oat flour.
• Taste, the mixture should taste good before cooking. As needed, add more salt/pepper/seasonings.
• Form mixture into 1/4 cup patties, then heat a thin layer of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the patties and cook for 3-4 minutes per side until crispy.
• Serve as you would your favorite sliders

BLACK BEAN SLIDERS

Steps:

• Thaw rolls at room temperature until soft but still cold, about 10 minutes. Spray cookie sheet with cooking spray. Cut each roll into quarters; shape dough pieces into balls. Place on cookie sheet. Brush tops of dough balls with butter. Cover with plastic wrap sprayed with cooking spray. Let rise in warm place 2 hours to 2 hours 30 minutes until doubled in size.
• Heat oven to 350°F. Remove plastic wrap. Bake buns 12 to 15 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from pan to cooling rack.
• Meanwhile, in medium bowl, mix salsa ingredients. Cover; refrigerate until serving time.
• In 10-inch nonstick skillet, heat 1 teaspoon of the oil over medium heat. Cook onion in oil 3 to 4 minutes, stirring often, until softened. Remove from heat; cool slightly.
• In medium bowl, mash beans with potato masher or fork, leaving a few beans whole. Stir in egg, bread crumbs, garlic, cumin, salt and pepper. Add cooled onion; mix until thoroughly combined. Shape mixture into 20 (1-inch) balls, using about 1 scant tablespoon per ball.
• In same skillet, heat 2 teaspoons oil over medium heat. Place half of the bean balls in skillet; with back of spatula, flatten balls into patties, about 1 1/2 inches in diameter. Cook 4 to 6 minutes, turning once, until browned. Remove from skillet; cover to keep warm. Repeat with remaining 2 teaspoons oil and bean balls.
• Split buns in half. On each bun bottom, place lettuce piece, bean patty, cheese quarter and 1 heaping tablespoon corn salsa. Cover with bun tops.
