I have a few that I like but will have to post them later when I can see. It's dark. lol. You should try chickpea cutlets too. Yum. This might be better in the food forums.

This is our favorite bean burger recipe. I keep a stack of them in the freezer for quick meals on Friday (vegetarian/meatless meal day). It uses pinto beans, but you could probably use chickpeas just as well.

Bean Burgers

By Anita Cecena in the book - Eat More, Weigh Less - by Dr. Dean Ornish

1/2 c. minced green onions (I also use fresh chives.)
1-1/2 T. minced garlic
2 T. white wine or vegetable stock (or water or a small amount of oil)
1 29-oz. can cooked drained pinto beans
3/4 c. cracker meal (I also use dried bread crumbs from homemade ww bread)
2 egg whites (or 1 whole egg)
1/2 c. chopped fresh parsley
2 T. seasoned rice vinegar
1/2 t. SPIKE seasoning powder (found in health food stores)

Preheat the oven to 350°F.

In a small nonstick saute pan, braise the onions and garlic in the white wine until soft.

In a medium bowl, combine the sauteed onions and garlic, beans, cracker meal, egg whites, parsley, vinegar, and seasoning powder. Mash well with a fork or potato masher until blended but not entirely smooth.

On a parchment-lined nonstick baking sheet, drop the mixture by 1/2-cup smounts and flatten gently with a spoon to form six 5-inch "burgers." (Note: I make them with 1/3-cup - we think 1/2-cup is too large.) Bake for 25 minutes, or until set and beginning to brown lightly. Serve hot.

To reheat frozen burgers: Thaw in the refrigerator overnight and then a quick pan fry to crisp them up a bit and warm through.

Here's a food blog that talks about them. Apparently, Real Simple had a recipe.

Look in the Asian foods at your local store for seasoned rice vinegar. It's flavored with sugar and salt (and sometimes sake).

You can use almost any vinegar as a substitute, just use less of it (or to taste). I bought the seasoned rice wine vinegar when I first made the recipe (1993) and never used it again once it was used up.

I've seen seasoned rice vinegar at Bel Air/Raley's. May depend on the number of Asians in your neighborhood.
