   • In a mixing bowl, lightly combine the ground meat and black beans using a fork until they are well incorporated.
   • Add in the chopped onions, minced garlic, finely chopped jalapeño, chili powder, salt, and black pepper.
   • Be careful not to over-mix the ingredients. You want the mixture to be light and not tightly compacted, which could result in a dense patty.

2. Form the Patties:

   • Gently shape the mixture into four 4-inch patties. Avoid pressing too firmly; a light touch will ensure a juicy and tender burger.

3. Cook the Burgers:

   • Preheat your grill or ridged grill pan over medium-high heat.
   • Place the patties onto the preheated grill or pan, and cook for about 8 to 10 minutes, turning them once halfway through.
   • To ensure that the burgers are fully cooked, use a meat thermometer inserted into the center of each patty. It should register 160 degrees Fahrenheit.

4. Handle with Care:

   • Hot burgers can be fragile and may crumble easily, so handle them with care using a wide spatula when flipping.

5. Serve and Enjoy:

   • Once cooked to perfection, serve the Big Chili Burgers immediately.
   • For an extra delicious touch, toast some burger buns and top each patty with sliced tomatoes, onions, and your favorite well-drained salsa.
