  • Step 3
    Add the cooked onions and garlic to the bowl with the beans. Add the chipotle peppers, Adobo sauce, cumin, salt, black pepper, paprika, soy sauce, mayonnaise, eggs, and bread crumbs to the bowl. Stir with a spoon to combine.
  • Step 4
    Using your hands, form the mixture into six patties and brush them with olive oil.
  • Step 5
    Heat a cast iron skillet over medium heat. Cook the burgers for about 5 minutes on each side. For best results, serve promptly.
