Black-Bean Burgers

You don't need to be a meat eater to enjoy a burger.  Here's a tasty great black bean burger recipe with a little Latino flair!

Ingredients

• 2 (14-ounce) cans black beans, rinsed and drained, divided
• 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
• 1/3 cup plain dry bread crumbs
• 2 teaspoons ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano, crumbled
• 1/4 teaspoon cayenne
• 1/4 cup finely chopped cilantro
• 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 4 soft hamburger buns
• Accompaniments: sour cream; salsa; lettuce

Directions

Pulse 1 can beans in a food processor with mayonnaise, bread crumbs, cumin, oregano, and cayenne until a coarse purée forms. Transfer to a bowl and stir in cilantro and remaining can beans. Form mixture into 4 patties. 

Heat oil in a 12-inch heavy skillet over medium-high heat until it shimmers. Cook burgers until outsides are crisp and lightly browned, turning once, about 5 minutes total. Serve on buns.
