Preparation

1. In a food processor, combine the oil, garlic and beans; pulse 8 times or until beans make a thick paste. In a large bowl, combine bean mixture and bread crumbs. Stir in lime zest, chili powder, cilantro, salt and eggs. With moistened hands, divide bean mixture into 6 patties (about 1/3 cup each).
2. Lightly coat a large nonstick skillet with nonstick cooking spray and heat to medium high. Add patties to pan; reduce heat to medium and cook for about 3 minutes, or until bottom edges are browned. Turn patties over; cook for 3 minutes, or until bottom edges are brown.
3. Arrange the patties on the buns and top with the avocado, lettuce, tomato and red onion, if desired.
