In a small bowl, mash black beans. Add whole northern beans and mix well. Transfer bean mixture to a large mixing bowl. Add each of remaining ingredients one by one, mixing well.   Add more panko or bread crumbs if mixture is too wet to make a soft patty.  Add 2 Tbsp. olive oil to large skillet and turn to medium heat. Form mixture into three-ounce patties, (about ½ cup each) and sauté for 10-15 minutes in skillet (patties should be crispy and browned on both sides).  May also place in well-oiled baking dish and baked at 400 degrees for about 30 minutes. Garnish with avocado and radish zest for added flavor.
