was anew recipe for our family last week and what a hit it was. It was a real pleasure for my taste buds, so give it a try and see for yourself and it is very healthy too!

3 Tbsp. chopped shallots
2 Tbsp. lime juice
1 avocado peeled and chopped
1 garlic clove crushed

1. preheat oven to 350F
2.place black beans in a medium bowl and mash with fork. (I used my food processor on pulse). stir in 1/2 cup cilantro and the next 7 ingredients (through egg whites)
Shape bean mixtures into 6 (1/2 inch thick) patties. arrange patties on baking sheet coated with cooking spray. Bake at 350F for 20-25 minutes turning once.
3.Combine remaining 1/4 cup cilantro, mango, and the next 4 ingredients (through garlic)in a medium bowl. Place a patty on bottom half of bun; top each with 1 lettuce leaf, 1/3 cup salsa and top with bun.
Enjoy!
***note: I did not mix the jalepeno in the bean mixture to spare the kids put put it on my burger when I served it***
