Cilantro Burgers

I love cilantro, but I was not loving homemade hamburgers lately. To plain, so to spice it up, I combined a few recipes I found online and here we have cilantro burgers. Which were delicious.

1lb ground beef
1/4 large onion
1/4-1/2 cup minced fresh cilantro (I love cilantro so I used 1/2 cup.)
1/2 teaspoon onion powder (I used 1/2 TBS on accident and they still turned out great.)
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 cumin
1/8 Chipolte chile pepper
1/8 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 can black beans

In a bowl, grate onion. This allows it to add moisture to the hamburger. (I drained all the onion juice out.)
To the grated onion, add hamburger, cilantro & spices & black beans.
Combine thoroughly.
Shape into patties.
Heat up grill, cook and enjoy.
