- 1 tablespoon chili powder
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/8 teaspoon ground red pepper (cayenne)

- 1 can (16-ounce) vegetarian baked beans
- 1 tablespoon prepared mustard

Instructions
- In medium bowl, combine ground chicken, green onions, zucchini, carrot, chili powder, cumin, ground red pepper, and 3/4 teaspoon salt just until blended but not over mixed. On waxed paper, shape mixture into four 3 1/2-inch round patties, pressing firmly; set aside. In 1-quart saucepan, over medium heat, heat beans, mustard, and molasses to boiling. Meanwhile, spray heavy 12-inch skillet with nonstick cooking spray. Heat skillet over medium-high heat until very hot but not smoking. Add patties to hot skillet and cook 5 minutes. Turn patties and cook until no longer pink inside (internal temperature should reach 165 degrees F.). Top bottom half of each roll with lettuce, then with a patty; add tomato slice and dollop of mustard if you like. Replace top half of rolls. Serve with 3-bean salad.
