Black Bean Chili Burgers

1 Tablespoon Chili Powder
1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1 pound ground sirloin
1 can ( 15.5 oz) black beans rinsed and drained
1/2 cup minced red onion
1/3 cup plus 3 tablespoons medium salsa
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
6 Whole Wheat buns
1/2 cup light mayo
1 avocado

Heat grill to medium high. Heat Broiler. Combine chili powder, garlic powder and cumin in a small nonstick skillet. Cook over medium-high for 2 minutes till fragrant. Remove from heat.

In a large bowl stir together the sirloin, black beans, spice mixture, red onion, 1/3 cup salsa, the salt and pepper. Transfer to a food processor and pulse till texture is slightly smooth and about half the beans have been mashed. Return to bowl and divide into 6 hamburger patties.

Coat burgers with nonstick cooking spray and grill for 4 minutes then flip and cook other side for another 4 minutes. Thermometer should read 140 degrees.

Meanwhile toast buns in broiler till golden brown. In a small bowl mix mayo and left over salsa. Spread on each bun, add the burger and a few avocado slices.

We didn't have the avocado so we just dressed our burgers with tomato and lettuce but the salsa mayo was very delicious!
