Southwestern Black bean Burger Tacos


Uhhhh delicious! Get any kind of salsa, grab some avocado-so so good! And really filling too!

Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 6 minutes

What you'll need:
1 can of black beans, drained
2 tablespoons of mayo
1/4 cup of fresh cilantro
1 tablespoon plain dried bread crumbs
1/2 teaspoonn ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon spicy pepper sauce
cooking spray
1 cup of lettuce
Some diced avocado
4 whole wheat pitas
1/2 cup salsa
1 teaspoon of feta
and a lime slice!

1. In a large bowl, mash beans (As best as you can with a fork or potato masher if you have one) with mayonnaise until almost smooth with some minor lumps here and there.Stir in cilantro, bread crumbs, cumin, and pepper sauce until well combined. Flour your hands and shape the bean mixture into a three inch patty. Spray sides of patty lightly with cooking spray.


2. Heat a skillet over medium heat until hot. Add patties and cook until lightly browned, about three minutes. Turn over with a pancake turner(aka spatula) and cook for three minutes longer on the other side.

3. Add lettuce on pitas, top with salsa, avocado, feta and cilantro!

Also don't feel bad if the patties do not stay they're form, just add more bread crumbs to the mix or just a very small amount of flour.
These patties are also really good in tortillas and cabbage blend instead of lettuce. Either way, its all tasty.
