INSTRUCTIONS
Heat 2 tbsp vegetable oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add just half the onion to one side of the skillet and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Add burgers to the other side of the pan. Cook until onions are soft and starting to brown and burgers are golden brown, 5 to 6 minutes per side. Turn off heat, transfer burgers to a plate, and cover with foil to keep warm. TIP: Keep remaining onion for your own use.
Add BBQ sauce directly to the pan and stir to combine with onions. In a small bowl, combine mayo, garlic, and a pinch of salt and pepper and stir.
Add arugula, pickled jalapeños, pickling liquid, 2 tsp olive oil, and a pinch of salt and pepper to a medium bowl. Toss to combine. TIP: If you are sensitive to spice, use fewer jalapeños or leave them out entirely.
Position oven rack in the middle and set oven to broil on high. Toast buns in the oven until golden brown, 1 to 2 minutes. TIP: All broilers are different; watch carefully to ensure buns don’t burn.
Place the bottom half of each bun on a plate. Top with BBQ glazed onions, black bean burgers, and some of the spicy arugula salad. Spread aioli on top bun and close the burger. Serve with remaining salad. Dig in!
