Chipotle Mayo

  • 1/2 cup light mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup chilies in adobo
  • 2 Tbsp olive oil
  • 1 Tbsp lemon juice
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • Pinch of salt and pepper

Black beans

  • 1 tsp olive oil
  • 2 tsp minced garlic
  • 1 Tbsp chili powder
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 1 15- ounce can black beans low sodium, rinsed and drained

Fixin's

  • 4 large yummy looking rolls preferably with sesame seeds
  • Butter
  • Romaine lettuce
  • Sliced tomatoes

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together the ingredients for the mayo. Add more or less chipotle depending on how spicy you like it.
  2. To make the beans, heat the olive oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add the garlic, chili powder, cumin and cook for 30 seconds. Add the black beans and broth. Let simmer for 5 minutes on low. Using a potato masher, smash up the beans. Turn off the heat and set aside.
  3. If you'd like to toast your rolls, spread a little butter on the buns and add to a toaster oven and toast until browned on the edges. To assemble, add the chipotle mayo, beans, lettuce, tomato, red onion, and avocado.
  4. Serve immediately.
