Preparation
Preparing the Olive Tapenade
Combine ingredients
Add olives, capers, garlic, lemon juice, and olive oil to a food processor.
Pulse mixture
Pulse until the mixture is finely chopped but still has some texture.
Adjust seasoning
Adjust seasoning, adding more lemon juice or olive oil if needed.
Preparing the Burger Patties
Mix ingredients
In a large bowl, combine ground beef, mashed black beans, onion, garlic, parsley, and cumin.
Season and combine
Season with salt and pepper, mixing until just combined.
Do not overmix the burger mixture to avoid tough patties.
Shape patties
Shape into four equal-sized patties.
Refrigerate patties for at least 15 minutes before cooking to help them hold their shape.
Cooking Process
Grilling the Patties
Preheat a grill or frying pan over medium-high heat. Cook each patty 5-6 minutes per side, or until cooked through.
Melting the Cheese
In the last 2 minutes of cooking, place a slice of cheese on each patty and cover to melt.
Toasting the Buns
Lightly toast each bun on the grill or in a pan for 1-2 minutes.
