With dampened hands, form the vegetable mixture into six 1/2-inch-thick patties, using about 1/2 cup for each.3. Preheat oven to 325°F. Stack tortillas and wrap in aluminum foil. Place in the oven for about 15 minutes to heat through. (Alternatively, stack tortillas between two damp paper towels; microwave on high for 30 to 60 seconds, or until heated through.)4. Using 2 teaspoons oil per batch, cook 2 to 4 patties at a time in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat until browned and heated through, about 4 minutes per side. Adjust heat as necessary for even browning. Wrap the patties in tortillas and serve immediately, garnished with lettuce and salsa, if desired.** Makes 6 pumpkin burgers **Number of Servings: 6Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user JENNH516.
