Ingredients

2 cups Home-Cooked Beans
2 Tbsp. light mayonnaise

1 Tbsp. plain dried bread crumbs
1 tsp. ground cumin
1 tsp. cayenne pepper sauce
salt
Nonstick cooking spray
1 Tbsp. olive oil
4 lettuce leaves
1 large tomato
4 hamburger buns

Directions

1. Step 1In large bowl, with potato masher or fork, mash beans with mayonnaise until almost smooth (some lumps of beans should remain). Stir in cilantro leaves, bread crumbs, ground cumin, hot pepper sauce, and 1/4 teaspoon salt until well combined. Divide bean mixture in quarters; with lightly floured hands, shape each into a 3-inch round patty. Lightly spray both sides of each patty with nonstick cooking spray.
2. Step 2In 12-inch nonstick skillet, heat olive oil on medium 1 minute. Add bean patties, and cook about 10 minutes or until lightly browned on both sides and heated through.
3. Step 3Arrange lettuce and tomato slices on bottoms of buns; top with patties and bun tops.
