1

Start by adding black beans into a bowl as the main ingredient.

2

Add 2 eggs into the bowl.

3

Sprinkle in spices, estimating about 2 teaspoons of taco mix.

4

Add approximately half a cup of bread crumbs.

5

Pour in about 3 tablespoons of Bullseye barbecue sauce for extra flavor.

6

Add about 1 teaspoon of salt to the mixture.

7

Sauté finely sliced onions, bell peppers, and tomatoes until softened.

8

Dump the sautéed vegetables into the bowl with the other ingredients.

9

Mix everything together, initially with a spoon, then use hands to combine.

10

Adjust the consistency by adding more bread crumbs if necessary, estimating another half a cup.

11

Form the mixture into balls for patties, keeping in mind they will be wet and not as firm as traditional patties.

12

Place the formed patties on saran wrap laid over a lid from another container.

13

Layer the patties with more saran wrap for easy freezing.

14

Freeze the patties for later use, storing them in a Ziploc bag or container after freezing.
