• 1 1/2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
• 2 teaspoons fresh lime juice
• 1 teaspoon paprika

• 1/4 cup chopped green chiles
• 3 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
• 1 1/2 teaspoons chili powder

Steps:

1. For corn salsa

Combine salsa ingredients and set aside.

2. For burgers

In a food processor, chop mushrooms into extra fine pieces. Add beans, chiles, Worcestershire, chili powder, salt, onion powder, breadcrumbs and egg; process until fully combined. Liberally coat a large nonstick pan with cooking spray. Form 4 patties, then gently place onto pan.
