How do I make a black bean burger?

Sure! First, you’ll want to wash your hands with soap and water. Then take a few beans out of a can, and put them into a hot skillet.

just like that? i would think i would need to shape them

Sure, if you want them to be more like patties, you can also shape them into flat patties.  Some people also add other ingredients, like a chopped onion and some barbecue sauce.

Okay, any other advice?

You could also use less oil in the skillet, if that’s an option, since it’s possible the beans will steam and become soggy with too much oil.  You could also fry some cumin seeds to add to the flavor.

To keep the beans from sticking to the skillet, try rubbing some vegetable oil on the bottom of the pan.   To keep the patties from getting too dry, try drizzling some water over them during the cooking process.   And to get more of the flavor of the beans, stir up some chili sauce and pour that over them during the last minute of cooking.
