This is one burger that is meatless, gluten-free, grain-free, high in protein and fiber and DELICIOUS!

I love a good burger. Classic beef burger, chicken burger, quinoa burger, or my latest creation–a Black Bean Sweet Potato burger.

That makes me sound like I am NOT picky, but yet, I so AM when it comes to burgers. They need to be flavorful, moist, and the toppings are what makes the burger for me.

That is why I top my chicken burger with slaw and make a special horseradish sauce for my classic beef burger. I don’t want to just have ketchup and mustard–I want a burger kicked up a bit.

And that is no different with this my newest veggie burger creation.

Sweet Potato Black Bean Burger with Mango Guacamole

I top this grain-free, vegetarian burger with an mango guacamole.

Because guac equals world peace to me. I mean how can you be angry, when you are eating chips and guacamole? Yep, you agree–NOT possible.

So this black bean burger, is gonna be your new fav.

We all know I am obsessed with pairing the heartiness of black beans with the sweetness of sweet potatoes (my personal favorite is Sweet Potato and Black Bean Burritos.)

Okay, maybe I am a bit obsessed with Easy Sweet Potato Recipes!

So get out your food processor and prepare yourself to fall in love, in love with a new sweet and savory “burger.”

Steps to Make Easy Paleo Black Bean Burgers

Step One: Make the Mango Guacamole.

Step Two: Combine 2 cups cooked or canned black beans with 1 large baked sweet potato, 1 egg, and some Mexican spices.

Step Three: Form the burgers and pan fry or oven roast, or both. I wouldn’t grill these burgers as they are simply bonded together using an egg, not bread crumbs and they may easily fall through the grill grates until they have formed a nice crust.

Step Four: Top with the guacamole.

Step Five: Inhale.

Here is the recipe–book mark this one, it is worth saving forever!!
