Use a food processor or a potato masher to smash
beans until chunky, leaving some partly whole. Stir in crushed chips,
salsa, cheddar, egg, scallion and black pepper. Set mixture aside 10
minutes, then shape into 12 patties.
Place patties on a plate, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate at least 30 minutes or overnight.
Meanwhile, heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a large
nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add patties to pan and cook until
golden brown on one side, 4 to 5 minutes. Add remaining oil, flip
patties and cook until underside is golden, 4 to 5 minutes. Remove from
heat and serve topped with salsa, lettuce and sour cream, if desired, on buns.
