Instructions
Begin by draining and rinsing one can of kidney beans. Using a fork or potato masher, mash the beans. It's ok if there are a few whole or partial beans in this mixture. It just adds to the final texture.
In a separate bowl, drain all of the liquid from the jar of prepared salsa. Divide and reserve 1/4 C for the burger mixture and the rest for serving.
Add 1/4 C to the mashed kidney beans as well as the cornmeal. I easily found a vegetarian corn muffin mix by Jiffy in my grocery store. You could also make your own mix if you'd prefer.
If you'd like to add any of the optional ingredients, do so now. Mix until well blended.
Heat a saute pan over medium high heat and add 1-1/2 tsp of oil, cooking two patties at a time. Do not overcrowd the pan and keep and eye on them so they don't get too brown or burn.
