Ingredients

  • 2 cans (15.5 or 15 oz each) red kidney beans, drained, rinsed
  • 1/4 cup Italian-style dry bread crumbs
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 medium green onions, chopped (2 tablespoons)
  • 1 egg white
  • 3 tablespoons sesame seed
  • 12 slices sourdough bread
  • 1/4 cup guacamole
  • 1 medium carrot, shredded (3/4 cup)

Steps

  • 1
    Heat gas or charcoal grill. In food processor or large bowl with fork, process or mash beans until smooth. Add bread crumbs, Worcestershire sauce, onions and egg white; process with on/off pulses or stir until well combined.
  • 2
    Place sesame seed on plate. With wet hands, shape mixture into 6 flat oval-shaped patties, 1/2 inch thick. Coat patties evenly on both sides with seed.
  • 3
    When grill is heated, place patties on gas grill over medium-high heat or on charcoal grill over medium-high coals; cover grill. Cook 12 to 16 minutes, turning once, until patties are lightly browned on both sides and seed is toasted.
  • 4
    If desired, just before patties are done, place slices of bread on grill to toast lightly.
  • 5
    To serve, spread 1 side of each toasted slice of bread with 1 teaspoon guacamole. Top 6 slices of bread, guacamole side up, with patties. Top each with carrot. Cover with remaining bread slices, guacamole side down.
