Instructions

Drain and rinse black beans until the water runs clear.
In a skillet over medium heat, sauté chopped onions in oil for about 3 minutes until soft. Add minced garlic and cook for another minute.
In a mixing bowl, gently mash the black beans with a fork while leaving some texture.
Mix in sautéed onions and garlic along with breadcrumbs, egg (or flaxseed mixture), cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper until well combined.
