    For the Chicken and Black Bean Burgers:
    • 1 lb ground chicken
    • 1 can (15 oz) black beans, drained and rinsed
    • 1/2 cup breadcrumbs (use gluten-free if needed)
    • 1/4 cup chopped cilantro
    • 1/4 cup diced red onion
    • 2 cloves garlic, minced
    • 1 tsp ground cumin
    • 1/2 tsp chili powder
    • Salt and pepper to taste
    • Olive oil, for cooking

    For the Chipotle Mayo:
    • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
    • 1-2 chipotle peppers in adobo sauce (adjust to taste), finely chopped
    • 1 tbsp adobo sauce (from the chipotle peppers can)
    • 1 tbsp fresh lime juice
    • Salt to taste

    For Serving:
    • Burger buns (whole wheat, brioche, or gluten-free)
    • Lettuce leaves
    • Sliced tomatoes
    • Sliced red onion
    Instructions:
    1. Prepare the Chipotle Mayo:
      • In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, chopped chipotle peppers, halal chick​, lime juice, and a pinch of salt. Stir well to combine. Adjust seasoning to taste. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
    2. Make the Chicken and Black Bean Burgers:
      • In a large mixing bowl, mash the black beans with a fork or potato masher until mostly smooth, leaving some chunks for texture.
      • Add ground chicken, breadcrumbs, chopped cilantro, diced red onion, minced garlic, ground cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper to the bowl with the mashed black beans.
      • Using clean hands or a spoon, mix everything together until well combined. Be careful not to overmix.
      • Divide the mixture into 4-6 equal portions, depending on how large you want your burgers. Shape each portion into a patty, about 1/2 to 3/4 inch thick.
    3. Cook the Burgers:
      • Heat a large skillet or grill pan over medium heat. Add a drizzle of olive oil.
      • Cook the burgers for about 5-6 minutes per side, or until cooked through and browned on the outside. Cooking time may vary depending on the thickness of your patties and your preferred level of doneness.
    4. Assemble the Burgers:
      • Toast the burger buns lightly if desired.
      • Spread a generous amount of chipotle mayo on the bottom half of each bun.
      • Place a cooked chicken and black bean burger patty on top of the mayo.
      • Top with lettuce leaves, sliced tomatoes, and sliced red onion.
      • Place the top half of the bun over the toppings to complete the burger.
    5. Serve and Enjoy:
      • Serve the chicken and black bean burgers immediately while warm, accompanied by your favorite side dishes like sweet potato fries, coleslaw, or a fresh green salad.
    Tips for Success:
    • Handling the Patty Mixture: Avoid overmixing the burger mixture to keep the patties tender. Mix until just combined.
    • Cooking: Ensure your skillet or grill pan is adequately heated before adding the patties to achieve a nice sear on the outside.
    • Chipotle Mayo: Adjust the spiciness of the chipotle mayo by adding more or less chipotle peppers and adobo sauce according to your preference.
    Conclusion:
