âI first made this recipe for a crowd of 11 people,â recalls Debby Chiorino in Pt. Hueneme, CA. âAnd everyoneâfrom little kids to teens and adultsâloved the Southwest flavorâ¦and the guacamole topping. A real hit!â Ingredients:
1 small onion, chopped |
1/4 cup finely chopped sweet red pepper |
5 teaspoons canola oil, divided |
1 garlic clove, minced |
1 can (16 ounces) fat-free refried beans |
3/4 cup dry bread crumbs |
1 can (4 ounces) chopped green chilies, drained |
2 tablespoons minced fresh cilantro |
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin |
1/8 teaspoon pepper |
1/3 cup cornmeal |
6 hamburger buns, split |
1/2 cup guacamole |
1/2 cup salsa |
Directions:
1. In a large nonstick skillet, saute onion and red pepper in 1-1/2 teaspoons oil until tender. Add garlic; cook 1 minute longer.
2. In a large bowl, combine the refried beans, bread crumbs, chilies, cilantro, cumin, pepper and onion mixture; mix well. Shape into six patties; coat in cornmeal.
3. In the same skillet, cook patties in batches in remaining oil over medium-high heat for 2-3 minutes on each side or until lightly browned.
4. Place patties on bun bottoms (save bun tops for another use). Top each with 4 teaspoons of guacamole and 4 teaspoons of salsa. Yield: 6 servings.
