Jalapeno Red Bean Burgers

 

1 tsp. olive oil

1/2 cup onions, minced

1/2 cup plum tomatoes, seeded and chopped

1-2 tsps. minced jalapeno peppers, depending on the

heat you prefer

1 garlic clove, minced

1 tsp. chili powder

1 15 oz. can kidney beans, rinsed and drained

1/4 cup breadcrumbs

2 Tblspns. your favorite BBQ sauce

1 egg white, beaten

 

4 whole grain buns toasted. Garnish with lettuce,

tomato, onion

slices, cheese, avocado slices, etc.

 

Heat oil in skillet over medium heat, add onion,

tomato, jalapeno,

garlic and chili powder, saute 5 minutes.

Cool slightly.

Using a fork, mash beans coarsely in bowl.

Combine mashed beans with onion mixture, add

breadcrumbs, 2 tablespoons

BBQ sauce, and egg white. Stir to blend well.

Shape mixture in 4 patties and lay on waxed paper and

cover with foil.

You can refrigerate these for 1-3 hrs so flavors

blend. If they look

like they will crumble, that's normal. they will

really hold together

and cook up into a nice burger so don't worry you made

them correctly.

If grilling, oil your rack with non-stick spray and

fire up the coals.

If pan frying heat a little oil over medium heat and

place in pan.

Cook about 3 mins. on each side. Watch so they don't

burn.

Place on buns and garnish.
