Adapted from a recipe by Jillian Michaels from the Ripped in 30 meal plan.
Servings: 4
Total time: 15 minutes
Ingredients:
Burgers
2 T extra virgin olive oil, for cooking
1 15 oz can chickpeas (garbanzo beans)
1/2 tsp onion powder
1 egg
2 T whole wheat flour
1/4 tsp dried oregano
1/2 tsp ground cumin
1/4 tsp salt
Sauce
1/2 c lowfat plain yogurt
2 T tahini (sesame paste, found in the Mediterranean section of the ethnic aisle)
1 T lemon juice
1/4 tsp salt
4 whole wheat tortillas or 2 pitas, cut into 2 circles each
Directions:
Burgers
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Place the rest of the burger ingredients into a food processor. Process until the mixture comes together and holds its shape when pressed into a patty. Form into 4 patties and add to the hot skillet. Cook until brown on each side, about 5 minutes.
Sauce
While the burgers are cooking, mix sauce ingredients together in a small bowl.
Serve the burgers in the tortillas or pitas, topped with 1/4 of the yogurt sauce.
