3 (15-ounce) cans black beans, drained
2 1/2 cups uncooked quick-cooking oats
1 medium-size sweet onion, diced
1 (4.5-ounce) can chopped green chilies, drained
1/2 cup egg substitute

Toppings: lettuce leaves, tomato slices

  1. Mash beans coarsely with a potato masher in a large bowl. Stir in oats and next 6 ingredients.
  2. Cover and chill 1 hour. Shape mixture into 12 patties.
  3. Stir together flour and cornmeal; dredge patties in mixture.
  4. Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook patties in batches 6 minutes on each side, adding additional oil as needed. Serve on hamburger buns with Cilantro Mayonnaise and desired toppings.
