Prep Black Bean Burgers
Combine flax seed, Worcestershire sauce, salt, pepper, cumin, mushrooms, 1/2 can beans, egg, and garlic in a food processor. Process until mixture is mostly smooth.
Transfer mixture to a bowl and stir in remaining black beans and breadcrumbs.
Toasted Pretzel Buns
Preheat oven to 400℉. Slice pretzel buns and arrange on baking sheet. Spray top halves of buns with non-stick spray and place top side up. Sprinkle goat cheese and parmesan cheese evenly over bottom halves of buns.
Bake for 7-8 minutes until golden brown.
Make Avocado Spread
In a small bowl combine avocado, salt, and lime juice. Mash avocado well with a fork. Add the yogurt, water, and stir until smooth. Refrigerate until ready to use.
Cook Black Bean Burgers
Heat canola oil in a cast iron pan over medium heat. Scoop out 1/2 cup black bean mixture and form into burger patties. Place in pan and cook 2-3 minutes per side until browned. In order to keep patties together nicely, I like to use two spatulas and place around bottom and top of patties and flip. Flatten just a bit with a spatula.
