Add the remaining beans, 1 cup of the cheese and corn to mashed bean mixture. Use clean hands to mix until mixture sticks together.

Using about 1/2 cup of bean mixture for each, shape into five patties.

In large nonstick skillet heat oil over medium to medium-high heat. Add patties. Cook for 9 to 15 minutes or until lightly browned and heated through, turning once. Remove from heat. Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup cheese on top of warm patties.

Serve in toasted buns along with lettuce and tomato slices.
