Cheesy Salsa Tuna Burgers

*NOTE: This recipe comes directly from the Green Lite Bites blog with very few minimal tweaks by me. I enjoyed it so much I had to post it here. If you enjoy this, go check out Roni's blog for yourself!*

Ingredients
1 can of tuna packed in water (drained)
1 egg
2 wedges of The Laughing Cow Light cheese (I used the Fresco & Chipotle flavor)
1/4 cup of your favorite salsa
3/4 cups old fashioned oats ground up in a blender or food processor
1 tsp onion powder
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp dried cumin
1 tsp chili powder
1 tsp dried cilantro/coriander
Dash of hot sauce to taste

Place all ingredients in a bowl and combine with hands.

Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and spray with non-stick cooking spray.

Form the tuna mixture into 3 patties and place directly on hot skillet. Cook for about 3 minutes per side until warmed through and browned.
