Southwestern Black Bean Burgers

This is one of my favorite recipes. It's a great summer bbq vegetarian recipe. Enjoy!

1 can black beans, rinsed and drained
2 tbs light mayonnaise
1/4 cup packed fresh cilantro leaves, chopped
1 tbsp plain dried bread crumbs
1/2 tsp ground cumin
1/2 tsp hot pepper sauce
nonstick cooking spray
1 cup loosely packed sliced lettuce
hamburger buns
1/2 cup mild salsa
Ranch Dressing

1- In a large bowl, with potato masher or fork, mash beans with mayo until almost smooth with some lumps. Stir in Cilantro, bread crumbs, cumin, and pepper sauce until combined. With Lightly floured hands, shape bean mixture into 3-inch round patties. Spray both sides of each patty lightly with nonstick cooking spray.
2- Heat 10 inch skillet over medium heat until hot. Add patties and cook until lightly browned, about 3 min. With pancake turner, turn patties over, and cook until heated through, about 3 min.
3- Eat like a hamburger with ketchup and mayo on a bun or add salsa and ranch instead. Either way these are delicious.
