Ranchero Burgers

This is a bit high in points for a normal supper, but worth every point. Very delicious. Even my WW meeting leader tried this and raved about it. Apparently, her family fought over the leftovers. Totally delicious, and like no burger I've ever eaten.
  • 1 lb ground round
  • 1/2 c chopped onion
  • 1/3 c crushed baked tortilla chips
  • 1/2 tsp ground cumin
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp minced garlic
  • cooking spray
  • 1c fat free refried beans
  • 4 tsp light mayo
  • 1x 1.5 oz wheat hamburger buns, toasted
  • 1.2 c shredded lettuce
  • 1/2c thick and chunky salsa

Combine first 6 ingredients, divide into 4 portions, then shape into half-inch thick patties. Prepare grill, grill pan, or skillet with cooking spray and heat. Cook patties until done, 6-7 min per side.

While patties cook, heat beans one minute in microwave. Then assemble burgers as follows:

Spread mayo on the bottom bun, top with 2 TB lettuce, and patty. Then, add 1/4 c beans and 2 TB salsa, then top with the other bun half.

Yield, 4 servings, 8 points each
