Salsa & spice add a ton of flavor to these little Black Bean Sliders. Load them up with your favorite toppings, like guacamole and sour cream and you have a fiesta in the making!
First of all, I must confess that I didn’t get these to you when I intended. But life gets busy and between 3 kids, being a pastor’s wife, and buildingΒ 2 businesses, it’s a good day when I put food on the table! If it was just me fending for myself, Β I’d be living on fruits & veggies, chia seed bowls, homemade ramen soup and probably SunButter sandwiches. Alas, I do have a family to cook for, so I need to be more creative butΒ the recipesΒ need to be quick!
How many of you know what I’m talking about? When the kids are little, you’re just thankful you can take a shower during nap time. Then you think you’ll have more time when they reach school, but then there is drop off & pick-up with a lot of parties & school functions in between. I haven’t even gotten to sports or activities AFTER school. But High School will be easier, right? That’s what I thought but was so very wrong.
The point in my “overshare” is NOT to compound the feeling of hopelessness, but to let you know that all those things happen so quickly and honestly in a blink, your kid will be graduating high school (May 11th y’all!!!!!). So, let’s enjoy the time we do have with them, let’s take some stress out of meal-time and make it easy! That’s what these Black Bean Sliders are….EASY PEASY π
These black bean sliders are my new favorite burger. The bean patty itself if loaded with 2 types of beans (black & navy), spicy salsa then bound together with flax meal and gluten-free crushed tortillas.Β Then, we topped off these babies with sliced tomatoes, red onion, guacamole, sour creamΒ and lettuce. Throw on some jalapeno and cheese and it’s a fiesta in your mouth!
Iβve made similar black bean patties before, but never as a slider! Boy, was I missing out! A batch of these are perfect forΒ family dinner, birthday parties, get-togethers and game-day. The leftovers (if you have any) keep really well in the refrigerator, and pack perfectly for next day lunches, or as a quick snack.
So do you need an easy dinner to add to the weekday mix? Are you tired of rushing home and trying to figure out what to make that’s delicious and won’t take hours to put together?

Black Bean Sliders
Salsa & Spice give these meatless sliders a ton of flavor which make it the perfect addition to your next dinner or get-together.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup spicy salsa (as hot as you can handle)
- 1- 15oz cans of black beans,Β drained
- 1- 15oz can of navy beans, liquid reserved for aquafaba recipes
- 1 cup crushed gluten-free tortilla chips
- 1/2 cup red onion, finely diced
- 1 flax egg (1.5 TB flax meal + 3 TB liquid from salsa)
- 3 tablespoon vegan mayo (Vegenaise or Just Mayo)
- 4 teaspoon chili powder
- 3 teaspoons cumin
- 3/4 teaspoon sea salt
- 3 tablespoon olive oil
- mini slider buns
Instructions
- Place fine mesh strainer over a small bowl. Pour salsa inside strainer and gently push down to remove extra liquid. Place salsa in a larger bowl.
- Make your flax egg using the liquid from salsa. If you need any additional liquid, just make up the difference with water. Set aside.
- Add beans to salsa and mash until no whole beans remain (or toss in processor and pulse a few times). Toss in tortilla chips, onion, mayo, chili, cumin, salt, and flax egg. Mix until incorporated and let stand 5-10 minutes as you get your griddle hot.
- Drizzle griddle or non-stick skillet with oil and heat on medium high. Reduce to medium. Form bean mix into small burgers using an ice cream scoop, place on heated griddle then gently press down to form burger shape. Cook 3-4 minutes per side, until lightly browned and heather through.
- Repeat until all burgers are done.
- Serve on small slider buns and top with guacamole, sliced tomatoes, greens, onions and sour cream.
Notes
- The recipe itself if GF, however, be sure to use GF buns to keep it safe.Β
- Keep those broken pieces from the bottom of your tortilla chips in a little baggie. Crush them and use those for the crumbs.Β

This sounds like a perfect recipe for my next burger, Nicole. Can’t wait to taste it!
Thanks so much. This beats any frozen vegan burger or dry restaurant burger. Hope you get to try it soon.
Homemade veggies burgers are such a staple!
They really are, although weeks go by and I forget to make them. Gotta change that π
Love a good to go bean burger! These look like an absolute staple for weeknight meals.
Oh yes! They are also adorable for the littles or any type of large get-together.
Excellent photo with the three burgers in the boat, Nicole! Makes me wanna eat all three of them. Even better that black bean burgers have been on my list for ages!
Aww, thanks Haute! I must confess that I did eat all 3 of them, so you wouldn’t be alone, lol.
Oh these look so good!!
Thank you Becky π
Nicole, this recipe is dynamite! I will take corn chips in anything and love the use of them in this recipe. Can you believe I have never made a bean burger?! I think you’ve convinced me!
Really? Never made a black bean burger? Oh, well I’m glad I convinced you! And if you love corn chips (I could eat them all the time too) then you’d totally love this burger.
Oh, I love a good black bean burger. These look super flavorful!
They really are! If you like them spicier, then use HOT salsa. I actually mixed spicy red & a green verde together in 1 batch and that still turned out awesome. So versatile.
These little burgers are so cute! And they look so yummy!
Almost too cute to eat….nah! I’d eat them all π
These look so tasty! I love that you added tortilla chips! Totally trying these soon!
Everytime someone goes to throw the broken pieces away, I feel like a hoarder (lol) but it’s totally worth it so you don’t have to buy crumbs.
Girl, I totally hear ya on the life is busy stuff! Dinner that isn’t leftovers is a total win! π I make Black Bean Salsa Burgers too, so I know I would love these! A family fave!
Glad I’m not the only one! Crazy that we blog about food and yet still have a hard time getting it on the table at times π But yes, I am all about easy and I’d love to hear how you make your burgers, bet they are fabulous.
I am ready for this party of flavors to happen in my mouth! These black bean sliders look ahhmazing!
Thank you Lindsay! I hope you enjoy the party ;0
Bean burgers are the best! My husband would definitely go for this recipe so I’ll be sharing ASAP!!
ooooh, these look spectacular, Nicole! and yep, 3 kiddos = madness! I too can eat much more simply than the fam. Who knew we’d have to feed ’em so much?? π
Yes, they do require a TON of food (lol) so I love having some easy, inexpensive & yummy recipes like this one. Every night can’t be “cereal night” π
How do you do it all, and when do you sleep?! Amazing! I love a good bean burger, and these cute sliders look delicious.
I could totally say the same, especially with all the running and training you do. But I actually have to set a timer on my phone to go to sleep or else, I stay up way too late π
Those do look DELISH! I love that you used tortilla chips in them. I forget that as an option for breadcrumbs – so easy, inexpensive, and something my husband can eat!
My husband always wants to throw out the crumbs but I don’t think he realized how I use them until he saw me making this recipe. They do work perfect for recipes that you need to add bread crumbs for sure.
These black bean sliders sound terrific! Such a family friendly meal.
Oh yes! Hubby & kids all love them, so it’s a perfect option for putting a quick and tasty meal together.
I LOVE black bean burgers and as sliders, these look amazing! So perfect to entertain with! I make mine with salsa as well, so good!
Oh awesome! What type of salsa do you use? I could seriously use the hottest one I found, but I don’t think the kids would like that π
I love black bean in everything, especially burgers! Looks very very delicious.
Yummy! These look so delicious, Nicole! I absolutely LOVE black bean burgers. π
