Cali Black Bean Burgers


Source: Betty Crocker's Vegetarian Cooking

1 can (15 ounces) black bean with cumin and chili spices, drained half way
(I have not been able to find this kind yet, but we just get the black beans with chilies and add cumin to our taste at home)
1 can (4 ounces) green chilies, undrained
1 cup plain dry bread crumbs
1 egg, beaten
1/4 c. yellow corn meal
2 tbsp vegetable oil
5 hamburger buns
1 tbsp mayo or salad dressing
1 1/4 c. shredded lettuce
3 tbsp thick and chunky salsa

1. Place beans in food processor, or blender. Cover and process until slightly mashed. Remove from processor. Mix beans, chilies, bread crumbs and egg. Shape mixture into 5 patties, each about 1/2 in. thick. Coat each patty with cornmeal.
2. Heat oil in 10 in skillet over medium heat. Cook patties in oil 10-15 minutes, turning once, until crisp and thoroughly cooked on both sides.
3. Spread bottom halves of buns with mayo. Top with lettuce, patties, salsa and tops of buns.
Enjoy!
