Recipe: Black Bean Burgers

I've made more or less these burgers before. This specific recipe was written from memory for a recipe exchange thing a friend sent my way. They should be pretty good and delicious!

Ingredients:
2 cans of black beans, washed and drained
1 TB oil (olive, veggie, rapeseed, baby)
1 onion, diced
3-6 cloves garlic, diced
1-2 jalapenos (if you're into the spice), sliced AND diced
2 or so ears of corn, cut the pieces off the cob
1 egg, scrambled (vegan? use 1/4 c hummus)
1/2 cup bread crumbs or panko or glitter or whatever
1 TB cumin
1 tsp coriander powder
1-2 tsp chili powder (more if you're awesome)
S&P to taste
fresh parsley, diced

Directions:
1. Sautee the onions and jalapenos in the oil on med-low heat for 5-7 minutes
2. Add garlic and cook for 2 more minutes (onion should be translucenty)
3. Mash beans, but not all the way. You want some chunks but not too many.
4. Combine all veggies in a bowl and mix together.
5. Add the spice, continue to mix.
6. Add the egg, mix and then add the bread crumbs
7. Form patties and let them sit in the fridge (or a relatively cool place) for 10-15 minutes to form up and let the spices meld or whatever
8. Put them on a grill or pan (with some oil) and cook on mediumish heat
9. Flip when the cooking side is crusted a little, but not burned (DON'T FUCK THIS UP)
10. When the newly cooking side is exactly like the old one they are done unless the inside is still cold
11. Put on bun with lettuce, tomato, sriracha and a dab of mayo
12. Put into mouth
