Rinse and drain black beans, then mash in a bowl until mostly smooth.

Finely chop onion, garlic, bell pepper, and carrot.

Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat and sauté the onion, garlic, bell pepper, and carrot until soft, about 5-7 minutes.

Add the sautéed vegetables to the mashed black beans.

Stir in breadcrumbs, flaxseed meal, nutritional yeast, cumin, paprika, salt, black pepper, and lime juice until well combined.

Form the mixture into patties, about 1/2 inch thick.

Chill the patties in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to firm up.

Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add a little olive oil.

Cook the patties for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown.

Serve warm, garnished with fresh cilantro.
