1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
1 medium onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
One 15-ounce can black beans, drained and rinsed (S&W brand is my favorite for this)
One 4-ounce can diced green chilies, UNdrained
1 egg
1/2 cup Panko bread crumbs
1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro
1 tablespoon half & half or milk
1 tablespoon flour
1 1/4 teaspoons Susan Maria's Cancun Chili Mix or taco seasoning
1/2 teaspoon cumin
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon Splenda

In a frying pan heat the oil over medium heat. Saute the onion and garlic for 5 minutes or until soft.

In a large bowl mash the beans with a fork, leaving a few chunks. Add the onion mixture to the beans. Stir in the green chilies, egg, bread crumbs, cilantro, cream, flour, Cancun mix, cumin, salt, and Splenda. Allow to rest for 15 minutes.

Heat a little more oil in the frying pan and cook the patties (about 1/3 cup each, but keep thick - don't flatten and they will stay more moist) for about 3 minutes on each side. Makes 6 burgers.

Sure, but I'm afraid I don't cook nearly as often as I post recipes.

This sounds yummy..

And the yogurt sauce seems like a good place to sneak in a scoop of unflavored protein powder..
