Instructions: Place torn bread in a food processor bowl or blender container. Cover and process or blend until bread resembles coarse crumbs; transfer to a large bowl and set aside.

Place cilantro and garlic in the food processor bowl or blender container; cover and process or blend until finely chopped. Add beans, 1 of the chipotle peppers, 1 to 2 teaspoons of the adobo sauce (reserve remaining peppers and sauce for another use), and cumin; process or blend using on/off pulses until beans are coarsely chopped and mixture begins to pull away from side.

Add mixture to bread crumbs in bowl. Add egg; mix well and shape into four 1/2-inch-thick patties.

Grill patties on the lightly greased rack of an uncovered grill directly over medium heat for 8 to 10 minutes or until patties are heated through, turning once.

Meanwhile, for guacamole, in small bowl mash avocado. Stir in lime juice; season with salt and pepper. Serve patties with guacamole and tomato.

This recipe yields 4 servings.

Serving suggestion: For burger baskets, place the bean cakes on a bed of purchased baked tortilla chips in a lined basket or bowl and garnish with orange wedges.

Comments: These spicy bean cakes are finger foods that are filling enough to make a meal. Theyre flavored with a chipotle - a dried, smoked jalapeno pepper - that comes in adobo sauce, a Mexican melange of ground chili peppers, herbs, and vinegar.
