Your favorite bun, toasted in a little butter
Arugula
Olive oil for drizzling, if desired

Instructions
Combine everything. Place in the refrigerator for 10 minutes to set.
Form into 4-6 patties, depending on desired size, and sear the burgers in a nonstick pan heated over medium heat. Once the burgers are warm-throughout and browned on the outside, top with your favorite cheese, if desired, and cover the pan to melt the cheese. To serve, top the bottom bun with the black bean burger, avocado, arugula, a drizzle of olive oil, sea salt, tomato, plantain chips and the top bun.
