1/4 cup unsalted cashews
1/4 cup garbanzo bean flour
1/4 cup Smoked Habanero Barbecue sauce
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 tablespoon olive oil
Optional: 4 buns

- Pulse the cashews, garbanzo bean flour, barbeque sauce, and salt, until breadcrumb-sized.
- Drain the beans and set ½ cup to the side. Add the remaining 1-cup to the food processor. Pulse, until mostly smooth, scraping the sides as needed.
- Let the mixture sit for 5 minutes to absorb liquid.
- Scrape the mixture into a bowl and fold in reserved ½ cup whole black beans.
- Divide mixture into 4 equal portions. Form into a round patty, firmly pressing and molding so the mixture does not fall apart.
- Heat a skillet over medium-low heat, add oil, and place patties into the hot skillet.
- Cook 2-4 minutes each side, until heated through and slightly browned.
- Serve topped with Ghost Chili Apple slaw, see below.
