Chipotle Sweet Potato Black Bean Burger Recipe

05.27.15

I am a huge fan of black bean burgers. They’re a great vegetarian or vegan alternative to regular burgers, and they’re really easy to make from scratch so you know exactly what’s going in your burger. And, they cook up really quickly, so they’re a snap to make if you’re in a rush but want a healthy meal. Sold yet? Read on for the black bean burger recipe!

Chipotle sweet potato black bean recipe. Vegetarian, vegan, and gluten free.

I made this black bean burger with sweet potatoes, which have lots of great vitamins and nutrients. I added in a chipotle pepper and some adobo sauce to give the burger a kick. If you like things spicy, it’s an easy tweak to add in an extra chipotle or two. It’s easy to tweak the recipe to include more or less of the things that you like and still wind up with a great burger.

I started by steaming my sweet potato in the microwave because I’m impatient, although you could cook the potato however you like. While the potato is cooking, you can chop the onion and chipotle pepper and smash the black beans. I actually used my potato masher to mash my beans and the sweet potato and I think it worked really well.

Once everything’s mixed together, all you need to do is quickly cook both sides of the burger in a skillet and you’re ready to eat! Not only are these burgers easy-to-make and delicious, but they’re also really quick to make as well!

    Oh my gosh mouthwatering! We love bean burgers and sweet potatoes in our house, so I definitely will be throwing this on our menu soon. Thanks for the recipe!

    • Beth @ Running with the Sunrise says

      Hope you like it as much as my hubby and I did! 🙂

    I”m not so great with beans, but these still sound fantastic. I will just have to find an alternative! Maybe zucchini or something like that! Love the flavors.

    • Beth @ Running with the Sunrise says

      05.30.15 at 10:00 AM

      Yeah, zucchini could work. I think the sweet potato could hold everything together. Or anything else that’s kind of mashy.

    These sounds fabulous. Perfect for summer grilling.Thanks for sharing. 😀

    • Beth @ Running with the Sunrise says

      You are so welcome! 🙂

    Yumm!! These looks amazing and super easy. I’m always looking for quick easy meal ideas like this for when my husbands away.

    • Beth @ Running with the Sunrise says

      05.30.15 at 10:02 AM

      I was amazed at how quick and easy these were to make, and aside from the chopping there’s very little cooking involved. If you try them let me know how you like them!

    I love black bean burgers! Can’t wait to try…I’ve never added sweet potato before!

    • Beth @ Running with the Sunrise says

      05.30.15 at 10:26 AM

      Definitely try it! The sweet potato just helps bind together all the ingredients. And it’s tasty and healthy!

  6. Erin @ Erin's Inside Job says

    05.27.15 at 9:28 AM

    This looks great! Most black bean burgers I get at restaurants don’t taste that great to me. Even though they are advertised as a healthier option, they don’t taste particularly healthy. I think if I made them at home I could remedy that!

    • Beth @ Running with the Sunrise says

      05.30.15 at 10:27 AM

      Yes! You can add in as many spices as you want. I’m a huge fan of chipotle, so I made sure to add that into this burger, but you could easily play around with the flavors.

  7. Suzy says

    05.27.15 at 10:06 AM

    I’ll have to wait until after my race this weekend to try these out but they sure look awesome! I’m always up for anything that will give me some extra toots!

    • Beth @ Running with the Sunrise says

      05.30.15 at 10:31 AM

      LOL, this is why everyone loves you, Suzy! 😀

    Love veggie and black bean burgers. So good. This one sounds and looks awesome.

    • Beth @ Running with the Sunrise says

      05.30.15 at 10:33 AM

      Thank you so much! Hope you like it if you try to make it!

    Yum! Combining sweet potato and black bean is genius. I love sweet potato but never do anything exciting with it, I totally need to try it in a burger next! xx

    • Beth @ Running with the Sunrise says

      05.30.15 at 10:33 AM

      Yes, definitely do try it! It’s a great combination, and you can play around with spices to find a combination that you love.

    The black bean burger is one thing I have never made…I’m having a black bean dip tonight with low carb enchiladas though…

    Must make the burger!

    • Beth @ Running with the Sunrise says

      05.30.15 at 10:34 AM

      Yum, that sounds delish! I am all about enchiladas–one of my very favorite foods!

  11. Luv What You Do says

    05.27.15 at 9:22 PM

    Oh yum! These look delish! So excited for BBQ and burger season!

    • Beth @ Running with the Sunrise says

      05.30.15 at 10:35 AM

      Thank you! I’m super excited for BBQ season, too! It’s finally getting warm enough!

    This recipe looks awesome! I made black bean burgers for the first time last week (hehe), and loved it more than I thought I would.

    • Beth @ Running with the Sunrise says

      05.30.15 at 10:36 AM

      Thanks, Jess! Aren’t they so easy to make and delicious? One of my new go-tos.

    I love veggie burgers and black bean burgers, but lots of the store bought ones aren’t gluten free. Love that these are.

    • Beth @ Running with the Sunrise says

      05.30.15 at 10:38 AM

      Yes, I made sure to do everything vegan and gluten free. Just in case. 🙂

    I love black bean burgers and really like the addition of the sweet potatoes in here. Yummy yum thanks for sharing and joining us for Meatless Monday today.

    • Beth @ Running with the Sunrise says

      06.02.15 at 7:57 AM

      Of course, it was my pleasure! I loved adding the sweet potato because it really helped bind the burger together better than a beans-only burger, too.

    Beth this sounds wonderful, I am gonna pin this RIHGT NOW! Thanks for linking up with us 🙂

    Adding chipotle peppers to my grocery list ASAP, cuz this needs to happen 😀
    Pinning!

    • Beth @ Running with the Sunrise says

      06.02.15 at 8:05 AM

      Definitely do! I honestly tend to keep them in my freezer–I’ll freeze the rest of the can that I don’t use immediately so that I can add them to various dishes. Love chipotles in chili, for example.

  19. Sarah says

    06.01.15 at 12:50 PM

    Now this is my kind of burger, it looks amazing! I bet it tastes as good as it looks!!

    • Beth @ Running with the Sunrise says

      06.02.15 at 8:09 AM

      It was really good! Even my husband liked it, and veggie burgers aren’t really his thing.

  20. Pragati // Simple Medicine says

    06.01.15 at 8:16 PM

    I have been wanting to make homemade veggie burgers for a while and these not only sound delcious, but easy to make! Thanks for sharing 🙂

    • Beth @ Running with the Sunrise says

      06.02.15 at 8:16 AM

      You are most welcome! And you’re right, they’re super easy, which is why they’re right up my alley. 🙂 Let me know what you think if you give them a try!
