    Instructions

    Place bulgur in a small bowl and cover with boiling water. Let stand 10 minutes. Drain well. Place soaked bulgur in a food processor with the beans, onion, olive oil, parsley, garlic, jalapeno, salt, chili powder, cumin and pepper. Process until smooth, scraping down the sides of the bowl as necessary. Form bean mixture into 4 patties. Carefully dredge patties in the cornmeal. Heat oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat.

To serve, place bean patties on rolls, top with avocado mixture, diced tomato and green onions.
