Grab a flashlight and take turns putting the spotlight on each other while making this dish!

In a mixing bowl, combine black beans, lima beans, hummus, garlic and cumin. Slowly add ¼ cup of flour to mixture. Add just enough flour so the mixture sticks together in a ball. Chill mixture for 5 minutes.

    While your burger is cooking, press the star cookie cutter on to the wheat roll to make a star shaped bun for your burger.  Once bean burger is hot, use a spatula to remove burger and place onto your star roll.

    Pretend to take a walk down the red carpet before you enjoy your burger!
