Divide mixture into 6 equal portions and form into patties to fit the buns. When grill is ready, brush the grill rack with vegetable oil. Place the patties on the rack, cover and cook, turning once, just unti lthe juices run clear, about 4 minutes on each side. During the last few minutes of cooking, place the buns, cut side down, on the outer edges of the rack to toast lightly. To assemble the burgers, on each bun bottom, place equal portions of white bean dip, and spread 2 – 3 tablespoons mayonnaise on top bun. Add patty and sliced avocado to bottom bun.
