Chop bell pepper, onion, and garlic, then place them in a food processor to finely chop.

Rinse and drain 1 can of black beans, then mash them with a fork until creamy and sticky.

Add the finely chopped vegetables to the mashed beans and stir to combine.

Whisk an egg in the well created in the mixture, adding chili powder, cumin, and hot sauce for seasoning.

Add salt to taste and then incorporate about 1/2 cup of bread crumbs, starting with less to avoid dryness.

Divide the mixture into four burger patties, which will be slightly wet but should hold together.

Prepare to cook the burgers by placing foil on the grill or grill pan to prevent sticking and brush with oil or use cooking spray.

Cook the patties for about 7-8 minutes on each side until they have color and a crust on the outside.

Assemble the burgers with Sriracha mayo, lettuce, red onion, and tomato, seasoning the vegetables with salt and pepper.
