We made these bean burgers that were full of flavor and easy to make. The chipotle mayonnaise certainly didn't hurt them; Adam couldn't seem to get enough of it. We paired the burgers with a salad of lettuce, red onions, cheddar cheese, salsa, and crumbled tortilla chips. Yum-o!
Southwest Pinto Bean Burgers with Chipotle Mayonnaise (Cooking Light, January-February 2005)
Burgers:
1/2 cup diced onions
1/2 cup dry breadcrumbs
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
2 Tbs. minced seeded jalapeno pepper
2 Tbs. reduced-fat sour cream
1 tsp. hot pepper sauce
1/2 tsp. ground cumin
1/4 tsp. freshly ground black pepper
1/8 tsp. salt
1 large egg, lightly beaten
1 (15-oz.) can pinto beans, rinsed and drained
1 (8 3/4-oz.) can no-salt-added whole-kernel corn, drained
Chipotle Mayonnaise:
1/4 cup low-fat mayonnaise
1 tsp. canned minced chipotle chile in adobo sauce
Remaining Ingredients:
1 Tbs. canola oil
4 (1 1/2-oz.) whole wheat hamburger buns, toasted
4 romaine lettuce leaves
1. To prepare burgers, combine first 10 ingredients in a large bowl. Add pinto beans and corn; partially mash with a fork. Divide bean mixture into 4 equal portions, shaping each into a 3 1/2-inch patty, and refrigerate 10 minutes.
2. To prepare chipotle mayonnaise, combine mayonnaise and chipotle in a small bowl; set aside.
3. Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add patties to pan, and cook 4 minutes on each side or until thoroughly heated. Place patties on bottom halves of buns; top each patty with 1 Tbs. mayonnaise, 1 lettuce leaf, and top half of bun.
