Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Pulse onion and garlic in a food processor until finely chopped. Add 1 can black beans, egg, cilantro, parsley, red pepper flakes, chili powder, Worcestershire sauce, and hot sauce; pulse to combine.

Step 2

Transfer mixture to a large mixing bowl. Add remaining black beans and bread crumbs. Season with salt and pepper and mix until well combined, adding up to 2 tablespoons bread crumbs if mixture seems too wet.
