Chicken Black Bean Burgers

3/4 lb ground chicken breast (can use lean ground turkey or diet lean hamburger)
2 cans drained black beans
1 can diced green chilies
1 c dried bread crumbs
1 T chili powder
1 t cumin
2 egg whites
1/2 c shredded low fat cheese
1/2 t salt

Puree beans and chilies and spices in your blender.  Stir in bread crumbs, chicken, egg whites and cheese.  Form into patties and bake at 350 on a well sprayed cookie sheet for 20 minutes.  Makes 10 patties.

A great sauce that we used for this was:
3/4 c olive oil mayo or fat free plain yogurt
1 T chili powder
dash cumin
1 T ketchup

These froze really well for a quick lunch too and my kids LOVED these - my 3 year old daughter liked them better than regular hamburger patties and I completely agree with her!
