Drain and rinse the black beans with cold water, then mash them with a fork or immersion blender in a large bowl.
Finely chop the red onion, garlic, and chili. Sauté them in a skillet with one tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat for 3-4 minutes, until softened.
Add the sautéed onion mixture to the mashed beans. Sprinkle in the rolled oats, breadcrumbs, smoked paprika, ground cumin, salt, and pepper.
Thoroughly mix all the ingredients until well combined. Form the mixture into 4 equally sized patties. If the mixture is too soft, add a little more breadcrumbs.
Place the patties on a tray and refrigerate for 30 minutes to allow them to firm up.
Heat one tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook the bean patties for about 4-5 minutes per side, until golden brown and heated through.
In the last minute of cooking, place a slice of vegan cheese on top of each patty and cover the skillet to allow the cheese to melt slightly.
Halve the hamburger buns and toast them in a dry skillet or oven until lightly golden and crispy.
Spread vegan mayonnaise on the bottom half of each bun, then top with a lettuce leaf and the cheese-melted chili bean patty.
Add a slice of tomato, then drizzle with ketchup and mustard.
Place the top half of the bun on top and serve with fresh salad or french fries.
