Vegan Sweet Potato, Garbanzo Bean Burgers with Tzatziki

These burgers are quite delicious! The sweet potato and garbanzo bean flavors really compliment each other very well. I decided to make homemade Pita Bread for my burgers but the burgers will taste just as good in lettuce or on any kind of bread. I prefer to serve the burgers with tzatziki but you can use just about any fixins like pickles, greens, bell peppers, olives or tomatoes.  I served mine with just Tzatziki sauce in a lettuce wrap but as a side dish I served

1 can garbanzo beans, drained and rinsed

Place the garbanzo beans, tahini, cilantro, garlic, onion, and oil in the food processor and pulse until smooth. Place the garbanzo bean mixture along with the remaining ingredients in a large bowl and stir until mixed well  then place in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. 
Make 6 patties and set aside. 

Heat a large skillet to medium heat and cook the patties for about 7 minutes on each side.  Create your wrap, pita or burger with yummy fixins and enjoy!
