Wet your hands with some olive oil and form 4 large patties. Coat with breadcrumbs and refrigerate for 10 minutes.

Heat your skillet on high heat until hot. Pour 1-2 tablespoons olive oil, lower the heat and fry the patties, turning them from both sides for about 5-6 minutes, until golden brown on the surface.

Slightly heat the buns and cut them in half. Place on the bottom bun a lettuce leaf, then the patties with beans and finally the sauce with fresh cherry tomatoes.

Cover with the top of the bun and Enjoy!
