Cilantro Bean Burgers with Creamy Avocado-Lime Slaw

Step 1

Combine beans, half the garlic, cumin, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and pepper in a medium bowl. Mash with a fork until all the beans are smashed. Stir in crushed chips (or panko), oats, pumpkin seeds, 2 tablespoons cilantro, and egg.

Step 2

Divide the mixture into 4 portions, then shape into patties. Place on a plate and refrigerate for 30 minutes before cooking.

Step 3

Meanwhile, combine the remaining 1/2 cup cilantro, the remaining garlic, yogurt, avocado, lime juice, and water in a blender or food processor. Puree until smooth. Transfer to a large bowl. Stir in lime zest and the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt. Add cabbage and toss to combine.

Step 4

Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the patties and cook for 6 minutes. Turn them over, reduce heat to medium, cover and cook until golden brown and warmed through, 5 to 6 minutes more. Serve the burgers on buns, topped with 1/4 cup cabbage slaw each. Serve the remaining slaw on the side.
