Preparation steps

Heat oil in a skillet or grill pan over medium heat. When hot add patties and fry for 4-5 minutes on each side. Remove from pan and set aside.

4.

Halve the buns and lightly grill them in the same pan on the cut side for about 2 minutes.

5.

Brush the bottom of the bun with mustard and add a lettuce leaf. Place a black bean patty on top of the lettuce. Top with a tomato slice, sliced red onion, pickled jalapeños, and pickled beets.

6.

Spread inside top bun generously with BBQ Sauce and cover the burger.
