Black Bean Burgers with Avocado-Lime Mayonnaise
Recipe Ingredients:
Mayonnaise:
1/2 ripe medium avocado, peeled and pitted
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
1 tablespoon water
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro leaves
Burgers:
1 (15-ounce) can black beans, drained and rinsed
1/2 of a (15-ounce) can red kidney beans, drained and rinsed
1/2 cup finely chopped green bell pepper
1/3 cup quick cooking oats
2 large egg whites
1 tablespoon canola oil
1/8 to 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
Canola oil cooking spray
4 whole-wheat hamburger buns, split and toasted
1/4 cup thinly sliced red onion
4 lettuce leaves
4 lime wedges
Cooking Directions:
1 - Place canola mayonnaise ingredients in a blender, secure lid, and purée until smooth.
2 - Place beans in a gallon-size resealable bag. Using a meat mallet, pound beans to a coarse texture, resembling lumpy mashed potatoes. Place beans in a medium bowl and add bell pepper, oats, egg whites, canola oil, and cayenne pepper. Mix well and shape into four patties.
3 - Coat a large nonstick skillet with canola oil cooking spray and heat over medium heat. Add patties and cook 4 minutes on each side or until they begin to lightly brown. The patties will be fragile, so be sure to turn them gently.
4 - To assemble, spoon 1 tablespoon canola mayonnaise mixture on each bun half. Top each bottom bun with burger, onion, a tomato slice, and a lettuce leaf. Place bun tops over each. Serve with lime wedges.
Makes 4 servings.
