In a small bowl, combine ground flaxseed and water. Let sit for 5 minutes to form a flax egg.
In a large bowl, mash the black beans with a fork or potato masher, leaving some texture.
Add the breadcrumbs, onion, cilantro, garlic, cumin, smoked paprika, salt, pepper, and the prepared flax egg. Mix until well combined.
Form the mixture into 4 equal-sized patties.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook the patties for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until crisp and browned.
Serve on burger buns with your favorite toppings.

For a gluten-free version, use gluten-free breadcrumbs and buns.
Patties can be frozen and cooked later.
You can bake the patties at 375°F (190°C) for 10-12 minutes per side if preferred.
