Vegan Lime Cilantro black bean patties/hamburgers

Trying to eat healthier, I made these bean patties that is influenced by my Cuban heritage.  Hope you enjoy!

A can of black beans OR 2 cups of cooked black beans
A small onion, chopped finely
1 garlic, chopped finely
1/2 red pepper, diced finely
About 1-2 tbsp of cilantro, chopped finely OR parsley if you don't like cilantro
Packet of Goya seasoning, con azafaron
1 tbsp of Badia Complete Seasoning
1/2 tsp of smoked spanish paprika.
1 tsp of Oregano
1/2 tsp of Cumin
Salt/Pepper to taste
Juice of one lime
Plain bread crumbs, about 1/3 cup

Saute onion and pepper till just softened, set aside.
Get all the ingredients and mash together.  (I did mine in a food processor).  Taste for seasoning.  I tended to add a touch more salt sometimes.  Form into patties and place in fridge to firm up a bit.  Meanwhile you can heat up a touch of olive oil and cook on medium heat till crispy on both sides.  About 3-5 minutes.  Serve on soft crusty cuban bread with avocado and tomatoes.
