Burger Patties

Toppings

Method

Preparation of Burger Patties

  1. 1

    Cook Quinoa

    Rinse 1 cup of quinoa under cold water. In a saucepan, combine quinoa with 2 cups of water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes until all water is absorbed. Remove from heat and let it sit covered for 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork.

  2. 2

    Prepare Black Beans

    In a mixing bowl, mash 1 cup of cooked black beans with a fork or potato masher until mostly smooth but still chunky. This will help form the burger patties.

  3. 3

    Mix Ingredients

    In the same bowl with the mashed black beans, add the cooked quinoa, finely chopped onion, minced garlic, grated carrot, chopped bell pepper, chopped cilantro, ground cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix everything together until well combined.

  4. 4

    Form Patties

    Add breadcrumbs to the mixture and mix again. Use your hands to form the mixture into 4 equal-sized patties.

  5. 5

    Cook Patties

    Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the patties and cook for about 5-6 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crispy.

Assembling the Burger

  1. 6

    Prepare Buns

    Toast the whole wheat burger buns lightly on a skillet or toaster.

  2. 7

    Layer Ingredients

    On the bottom half of each bun, place a lettuce leaf, followed by a cooked veggie patty, sliced tomato, avocado, and pickles.

  3. 8

    Complete the Burger

    Top with the other half of the bun and serve immediately.
