You may want to prepare a double batch of these burgers so you’ll have enough to serve without the pita bread at another meal. Try them with roasted sweet potato wedges and fresh fruit.

Preparation
Step 1
In a food processor or blender, pulse the beans for 20 to 30 seconds, or until the mixture is slightly chunky. Transfer to a medium bowl. Stir in the remaining burger ingredients. Shape into 6 flat patties.
Step 2
In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat, swirling to coat the bottom. Cook the patties on one side for 3 to 4 minutes, or until browned. Remove the skillet from the heat. Lightly spray the tops of the patties with olive oil spray. Turn over. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes, or until browned.
Step 3
Put the burgers and lettuce in the pita pockets. Serve with the salsa.
