Process until onions and garlic are combined, mixture should resemble refried beans
Transfer mixture to a large bowl, bread crumbs, flour, parmesan, cumin, salt, pepper, paprika, and chili powder

Using your hands, form the burger patties. I make 2 large patties or you could make 3 smaller ones with this recipe.
Skillet cooking:
coat skillet with olive oil ( about 1-2 tbsp) and heat to medium heat
cook burgers 5-8 min per side until browned around all edges and slightly firm.
Grill cooking:
heat grill on a medium heat
cook about 6-8 min on each side until browned
