Southwestern Sauce
-
Combine all ingredients in a bowl; add salt to taste. Stir until smooth. Refrigerate until you’re ready to use.
Grilled Corn:
-
Place the ears of corn on the grill and cook for 2 to 3 minutes on each side, turning until all areas are lightly charred. Cut corn off the cob.
Grilled Guacamole:
-
Cut the avocados in half, remove pits. Brush each half of the avocado with a little olive oil and place face down onto the grill. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes.
-
Brush the red onion slices with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
-
Place your onions on the grill and cook for 2 to 3 minutes per side or until they’re soft and browned. Finely chop the grilled onion.
-
Scoop the avocado flesh into a medium-sized bowl. Add the grilled onion, cilantro, lime juice, and tomato. Add salt to taste.
-
Mash with a fork until everything is thoroughly blended together.
-
Place the black bean burgers on the grill and cook for 3 to 5 minutes per side or until done. Add a slice of cheddar cheese on top after you’ve flipped them so that it has time to melt while the other side cooks.

Toast your hamburger buns. Place a tablespoon of southwestern sauce on the bottom bun.
-
Add the spicy black bean burger, top with guacamole, corn, and tomato slices.
-
Place the other bun half on top and serve immediately.
Recipe Notes
Alternatively, if you’re using frozen corn kernels you can heat a small pan on the stove over high heat, add 1 teaspoon of olive oil, the corn and salt to taste. Cook, stirring occasionally until corn is charred.
