Shape the patties up to eight hours in advance, and cook just before serving. Use a grill pan or nonstick skillet to cook them since they may not hold up on a standard grill. If you have a mini food processor, use it to prepare the mayonnaise mixture. You can use regular hamburger buns instead of English muffins.

mayonnaise
1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro
3 tablespoons light mayonnaise
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh mango
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh pineapple
1/8 teaspoon finely grated lime rind
1/3 cup chopped green onions
