Preparation Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Beans

    Rinse and drain the black beans, then mash them in a large bowl until mostly smooth but still slightly chunky.

  2. 2

    Combine Ingredients

    Add cooked quinoa, breadcrumbs, diced red bell pepper, chopped onion, minced garlic, cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper to the mashed beans. Mix well until all ingredients are thoroughly combined.

  3. 3

    Form the Patties

    Divide the mixture into four equal parts and shape each part into a patty, ensuring they are compact and hold together.

  4. 4

    Cook the Patties

    In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the patties and cook for about 5 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and heated through.

  5. 5

    Assemble the Burger

    Toast the burger buns lightly, then place a lettuce leaf on the bottom bun. Add the veggie patty, sliced tomatoes, avocado, and any preferred condiments such as ketchup and mustard.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Place the top bun on the assembled burger, serve immediately, and enjoy your delicious veggie burger!
