Black Bean Burger - from Vegan Zombie

I was searching around Youtube for ideas of what to make next, when I came across a channel called The Vegan Zombie .  Here the protagonist is acting like he's in a Zombie Apocalypse caused by a disease spread by consuming animal products and only Vegans have survived - weird story but it makes his cooking videos interesting.  When I ran into his black burger recipe I HAD to give it try, mainly for it's great Mexican inspired ingredients - for those who don't know, I'm Mexican and will try occasionally to infuse my heritage in my cooking.  That being said, you can expect this burger to give a little kick, but you can control that factor any way you'd like...so let's begin.
