Make a salad of rice tossed with diced jicama, red bell pepper, avocado and
a vinaigrette dressing, and pass bowls of sour cream and shredded lettuce
to accompany these Southwest-style meatless bean burgers. A lemon tart is a
perfect finale.

Using fork, mash beans in medium bowl. Mix in onion, breadcrumbs, 2
tablespoons salsa, cumin and hot pepper sauce. Season with salt and pepper.
Using moistened hands, shape bean mixture into two 3- to 4-inch-diameter
patties.

Prepare barbecue (medium-high heat) or preheat broiler. Brush barbecue rack
with oil. Grill burgers until heated through, about 3 minutes per side.
Grill cut sides of buns until lightly toasted, about 1 minute. Transfer
burgers to bottom halves of buns. Spoon 1/4 cup salsa over each. Cover with
tops of buns.

2 Servings; can be doubled
