This was tonights dinner. It was delicious. Very easy to put together.
You don't have to make your own rolls but if you have an ABM, and you
have the time, well worth it. Otherwise, absolutely easy to do and very
delicious.

                        Spicy Mexican Bean Burgers

Recipe By     : Horn of the Moon Cookbook by Ginny Callan, p. 167
Serving Size  : 4    Preparation Time :0:00
Categories    : Beans/Legumes/Pulses

  Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
   5      tbsp          sunflower oil -- * see note
     3/4  cup           onion (1 lg onion) -- diced
   1      tbsp          garlic (4 cloves) -- minced
     1/2  tsp           mexican oregano -- or green oregano
   1      tbsp          hot pepper (1 small) -- minced
     1/2  cup           green bell pepper (1 small) -- diced
   2      cups          cooked pinto beans -- mashed
     1/2  cup           breadcrumbs
     1/2  tsp           ground cumin
     1/2  tsp           salt
     1/2  tsp           chili powder
   2      tbsp          fresh parsley -- chopped
                        cornmeal
   5      slices        jalapeno jack cheese
   4                    whole wheat rolls** -- or
   4                    english muffins
                        lettuce leaves
   1      lg            tomato -- sliced
                        onion rings -- optional
                        salsa -- optional

Heat a 10" fry pan over medium heat and add 1 tbsp oil. When hot, add
the onions, garlic, oregano, and hot pepper. Stir occasionally, then
when onions just begin to brown, add green pepper and saute mixture 2
minutes more. Remove from heat.

In medium-sized bowl, mix cooked vegetables with mashed beans. Stir and
add breadcrumbs, cumin, salt, chili powder, and parsley. Mix well and
form into patties, using about 1/2 cup mixture per patty to form 5
patties (my batch made 4). Dip into cornmeal so burgers are lightly
coated with cornmeal. Tap off excess.

Set 10" fry pan over medium haet and add remaining 4 tbsp oil (I used 1
more). When hot, add burgers. Brown on one side, flip over, and top each
patty with a slice of cheese. Lower heat and cover pan. Cook until
cheese has melted nicely and burgers are browned (approx 5 minutes).
Serve on rolls with lettuce on the bottom, tomato slices, onion rings,
and salsa on the top, and extra salsa on the side.

NOTES : * I didn't have sunflower so I used canola.

** I made homemade rolls for the burgers.

I omitted the tomato,  lettuce & salsa for topping the burgers. Only
used sliced red onions and some sliced jalapenos.

Also, served with some roasted veggies & roasted potatoes.
