Tips:
- Use ripe pineapple: The natural sweetness of ripe pineapple complements the savory black beans and spices in these burgers perfectly.
- Grill the pineapple slices before adding them to the burgers: This caramelizes the pineapple and gives it a slightly smoky flavor.
- Don't overcook the burgers: Black beans are delicate and can easily become mushy if overcooked. Cook the burgers just until they are heated through, about 3-4 minutes per side.
- Serve the burgers on a toasted bun with your favorite toppings: Some good options include avocado, salsa, sour cream, or cheese.
