Instructions
1
Prep
Mash the black beans in a bowl with a fork, leaving some whole for texture, until a thick paste forms.

3
Build
Beat the egg, then mix it with the sauteed onion, breadcrumbs, cumin, smoked paprika, and salt into the beans until it holds, and shape one patty.
4
Chill
Rest the shaped patty in the fridge for 15 minutes to firm up.
5
Fry
Cook the patty in the remaining oil over medium heat 4 minutes per side until a dark crust forms and it feels firm, flipping once carefully.
