Black Bean "Nacho" Burger



Recipe: Taken from September 2012 Fitness magazine

1 15 oz can drained and rinsed black beans
1/2 cup finely crushed blue corn tortillas
1/3 cup salsa, plus more for serving
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1 large egg, lightly beaten
1 scallion, white and green parts, finely chopped
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
4 hamburger buns
sliced avocado for serving

Use a food processor or a potato masher to smash black beans until chunky, leaving some partly whole.   Stir in crushed chips, cheese, salsa, pepper, scallion, and egg.  Set mixture aside for 10 minutes then shape into patties.

Place patties on plate and cover with plastic wrap place in fridge for at least 30 minutes or overnight.
Heat 1 teaspoon of oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat.  Add patties and cook until golden brown on one side, 4-5 minutes.  Flip and cook until golden brown on other side another 4-5 minutes.  Remove from heat and serve on buns topped with salsa and avocado.  (we use a toasted onion roll!)
