1 (15 ounce) can black beans, drained, rinsed
1 tablespoon oil
1 cup frozen corn
1 -2 teaspoon chopped garlic (bottled is fine)
1/2 cup chopped onion
1/4 teaspoon cumin
1 (6 ounce) can green chili sauce (in the Mexican Foods aisle)
2 tablespoons salsa (as you like it, I used mild)
1 1/2 teaspoons chili powder
1/2 cup flour
1/2 cup dry breadcrumbs

Steps:

Place beans in a large bowl and sit aside.
Heat oil in a large frying pan.
Add onion, garlic, corn and cumin.
Sauté about 2-3 minutes over medium heat.
Add your green chili sauce and sauté another minute or two.
Place in bowl with beans, let cool and mash with stick blender, it is okay if not every piece is mashed.
Add salsa, chili powder, flour and breadcrumbs.
Stir to blend ingredients with a rubber spatula.
Form in 4 patties and place on wax paper.
Store in Tupperware until ready to cook.
To cook, spray on one side and sauté on medium heat until browned, repeat on other side.
I serve these on toasted burger buns with pepperjack cheese, mayo, lettuce and tomato but serve it as you like.
