There are lots of meatless burgers in the world, but this one—earthy and satisfying without being stodgy—has Latino flair and is pantry-friendly to boot. Yield: Makes 4 servingsActive Time: 10 min Total Time: 15 min 2 (14-ounce) cans black beans, rinsed and drained, divided 3 tablespoons mayonnaise 1/3 cup plain dry bread crumbs 2 teaspoons ground cumin 1 teaspoon dried oregano, crumbled 1/4 teaspoon cayenne 1/4 cup finely chopped cilantro 3 tablespoons vegetable oil 4 soft hamburger buns Accompaniments: sour cream; salsa; lettuce Pulse 1 can beans in a food processor with mayonnaise, bread crumbs, cumin, oregano, and cayenne until a coarse purée forms. Transfer to a bowl and stir in cilantro and remaining can beans. Form mixture into 4 patties. Heat oil in a 12-inch heavy skillet over medium-high heat until it shimmers. Cook burgers until outsides are crisp and lightly browned, turning once, about 5 minutes total. Serve on buns.
