Heat a grill or grill pan over medium-low heat. (I USED MEDIUM B/C THE MEDIUM-LOW SETTING WAS WAAAAY TOO LOW.)
In a food processor, pulse onion and garlic until finely chopped. Add 1 can black beans, cilantro, parsley, egg, and red pepper flakes and pulse to combine.
Transfer mixture to a large mixing bowl, add the remaining can of black beans and the bread crumbs. Season with salt and pepper, to taste, and mix until well combined.
------------------------------- I DID NOT DO THE FOLLOWING. INSTEAD I JUST MADE 2 MORE BURGERS OUT OF IT, FOR A TOTAL OF 6 BURGERS
-------------------------------Reserve 1/3 of the black bean mixture for Round 2 Recipe. Divide remaining mixture into 4 portions and form into patties. Place on hot oiled grill over medium-low heat and cook about 6 minutes a side or until heated through. Toast hamburger buns on a grill. Place a burger on the bottom of each bun. Top with lettuce, tomato and ketchup. Cover the burgers with the top of the bun and serve.
