Ingredients
1 slightly beaten egg white
1/2 of a 15-ounce can (3/4 cup) pinto beans, drained and mashed
1/4 cup soft whole wheat bread crumbs
1/4 cup finely chopped celery
1 tablespoon canned diced green chili peppers or 1 teaspoon chopped canned jalapeno peppers
1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
1 pound lean ground beef
4 8-inch flour tortillas, halved
8 lettuce leaves
1 cup salsa

Directions
1. In a large mixing bowl combine egg white, beans, bread crumbs, celery, chili peppers, and garlic powder. Add ground beef, mix well.
2. Shape meat mixture into eight 1/2-inch-thick oval burgers.
3. Place burgers on the unheated rack of a broiler pan. Broil 4 inches from the heat for 12 to 14 minutes or until an instant-read thermometer inserted in side of burger registers 160 degrees F, turning once.
4. To serve, place a lettuce leaf and a burger in the center of each tortilla half. Top with 1 tablespoon of the salsa. Bring ends of tortilla up and over burger. Top with another tablespoon salsa. Makes 8 servings.
