[recipe-directions]
- In a food
processor, pulse together beans, brown rice, oats, onion, cumin, pepper
flakes, and salt a few times, being careful not to over-process. Mix with
a rubber spatula as necessary to ensure everything is well combined. Add
the tomato and corn and pulse until just combined. - Form the
mixture into 5 patties, arrange on a baking sheet or plate, and chill in
the fridge for at least 30 minutes. - Place the
breadcrumbs on a plate and dredge each side of the burgers, gently
pressing down to coat. - Preheat a
skillet with 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium heat. When the oil is hot,
gently place the burgers (as many as will fit comfortably in your skillet)
and cook, undisturbed, until golden, 4 minutes. Add another tablespoon of
oil, flip, and cook for 4 minutes on the other side.
