black bean burger with mango avacado salsa

* from cookinglight.com

Burger:

2 cans black beans
1 large green onion finely chopped
1-2 cloves garlic chopped
2 eggs (I only did one, and it was a bit crumbly, I added a splash of orange juice too but was still a bit crumbly)
1/4 c. panko bread crumbs (comments said that reg worked too)
1/2 c.(ish) finely chopped cilantro
2 t. cumin (with this much cumin it was a strong flavor, I'd probably only do 1 next time when serving to kids)
1 t. salt
1 t. dried oregano
1/4 t. crushed red pepper flakes
handful of Monterrey jack cheese (I only had colby jack)

Pulse black beans in food processor for a few seconds. leave some whole. Or mash with potato masher. add chopped cilantro and rest of ing. make into patties, and let rest in fridge for 10 min or so. Once set up, heat fry pan and add a bit of olive oil (or dry works too) and fry 5-8 min per side. (or until it will fip in one piece)

Makes about 4-6 burgers. *remember, these don't shrink like meat patties!!

Mango Salsa:

1 mango peeled and diced
1 avocado peeled and diced
cilantro finely chopped (1/4 cup ish)
1 T. finely chopped red onion
1 clove garlic minced
1 lime juiced (only had bottled, just splashed it around)
salt and pepper

* To Serve: put salsa on burger and top with lettuce!! you can put a bit of mayo on one side if you want to.
