Comments:
This is a great healthy recipe. Looking for a grill recipe for vegetarians? This is it! The patties were a bit "wet" the first time we made it. So, you might cut back on the egg, drain the beans well, and add a few more bread crumbs.
Serving Suggestions:
The jalapeno in this makes it hot. Cut back a bit if you don't want it so hot and spicy.
Ingredients:
Burgers:
1/2 cup diced onions
1/2 cup dry bread crumbs
14/ cup chopped cilantro
2 tbs. minced, seeded jalapeno pepper
2 tbs. reduced-fat sour cream
1 tsp. hot pepper sauce
1/2 tsp. ground cumin
1/4 tsp. freshly ground black pepper
1/8 tsp. salt
1 large egg
1 (15 oz) can pinto beans, drained
1 (8 3/4 oz) can no-salt added whole kernel corn, drained

Chipotle Mayonnaise:
1/4 cup low-fat mayonnaise
1 tsp. canned minced chipotle chile in adobe sauce

Other ingredients:
1 tbs. canola oil
Whole wheat hamburger buns
romaine lettuce leaves

Instructions:
1. To prepare burgers, combine the first 10 ingredients in a large bowl. Add pinto beans and corn, partially mash with a fork. Divide bean mixture into 4 equal portions, shaping each portion into a 3 1/2-inch patty and refrigerate for 10 minutes.

2. To prepare chipotle mayonnaise, combine mayonnaise and 1 tsp chipotle in a small bowl and set aside.

3. Heat canola oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add patties to pan and cook 4 minutes on each side. Place patties on bun with 1 Tbsp of mayo.
