Steps:

• Chop your garlic and veggies. I throw all mine in my food processor and it makes easy work of this step.
• Combine all ingredients through grill seasoning.
• Divide mixture into 4 equal patties. Drizzle patties with olive oil to coat. Cook on grill or in skillet over med-high heat until done. (I've found that the veggies make this so moist that they're hard to overcook, although you'll still want to keep an eye on them).
• Place sliced cheese over the patties the last two minutes of cooking.
• OPTIONAL (but worth it): Slather with Black Bean Spread/Dip with Lime and Cilantro (recipe posted after this one). Enjoy the rest of the dip with tortilla chips with your burger.
