Method

Tear up 1 bread roll and blitz in a food processor to make breadcrumbs.
Put the breadcrumbs (reserving a small handful), the tuna, grated onion, sweetcorn, lemon zest and 4 tbsp mayonnaise into a medium bowl. Season well and stir together. Form into four 9cm-wide and 3cm-thick patties and then roll in the remaining breadcrumbs.
Heat the oil in a large frying pan set over a medium-high heat and fry the burgers for 2-3 mins on each side until golden, crisp and hot throughout. Add a slice of cheese on top for the final minute of cooking. Serve in the remaining buns with the rest of the mayonnaise, the lettuce and finely sliced onion with sweet potato wedges on the side.
