Ingredients

2 cans (15.5 or 15 oz each) red kidney beans, drained, rinsed
1/4 cup Italian-style dry bread crumbs
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
2 medium green onions, chopped (2 tablespoons)
1 egg white
3 tablespoons sesame seed
12 slices sourdough bread
1/4 cup guacamole
1 medium carrot, shredded (3/4 cup)

Steps:

Heat gas or charcoal grill. In food processor or large bowl with fork, process or mash beans until smooth. Add bread crumbs, Worcestershire sauce, onions and egg white; process with on/off pulses or stir until well combined.
Place sesame seed on plate. With wet hands, shape mixture into 6 flat oval-shaped patties, 1/2 inch thick. Coat patties evenly on both sides with seed.
When grill is heated, place patties on gas grill over medium-high heat or on charcoal grill over medium-high coals; cover grill. Cook 12 to 16 minutes, turning once, until patties are lightly browned on both sides and seed is toasted.
If desired, just before patties are done, place slices of bread on grill to toast lightly.
To serve, spread 1 side of each toasted slice of bread with 1 teaspoon guacamole. Top 6 slices of bread, guacamole side up, with patties. Top each with carrot. Cover with remaining bread slices, guacamole side down.
