Recipe: Spiced Black Bean Burgers (not Chili's)

SPICED BLACK BEAN BURGERS

1 (15- to 16-ounce) can black beans, rinsed, drained
1/3 cup chopped red onion
1/4 cup dry breadcrumbs
2 tablespoons plus 1/2 cup bottled chunky salsa
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon hot pepper sauce (such as Tabasco)
Vegetable oil
2 whole wheat hamburger buns

Using fork, mash beans in medium bowl. Mix in onion, breadcrumbs, 2 tablespoons salsa, cumin and hot pepper sauce. Season with salt and pepper.

Using moistened hands, shape bean mixture into two 3- to 4-inch-diameter patties.

Prepare barbecue (medium-high heat) or preheat broiler.

Brush barbecue rack with oil. Grill burgers until heated through, about 3 minutes per side. Grill cut sides of buns until lightly toasted, about 1 minute.

Transfer burgers to bottom halves of buns. Spoon 1/4 cup salsa over each. Cover with tops of buns.

2 Servings; can be doubled.
