Method

Burger Patty Preparation

  1. 1

    Cook Quinoa

    Rinse the quinoa under cold water. In a saucepan, combine 1 cup of quinoa with 2 cups of water. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes or until all water is absorbed. Fluff with a fork and let cool.

  2. 2

    Prepare Black Beans

    Drain and rinse the canned black beans. In a large mixing bowl, mash the black beans with a fork or potato masher until mostly smooth, leaving some chunks for texture.

  3. 3

    Combine Ingredients

    Add the cooked quinoa, chopped onion, minced garlic, cumin, chili powder, salt, black pepper, beaten egg, and breadcrumbs to the mashed black beans. Mix until well combined.

  4. 4

    Form Patties

    Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each portion into a patty.

  5. 5

    Cook Patties

    Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the patties and cook for 5-6 minutes on each side or until golden brown and heated through.

Guacamole Preparation

  1. 6

    Mash Avocado

    Cut the avocados in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a bowl. Mash with a fork until creamy but slightly chunky.

  2. 7

    Mix Ingredients

    Add lime juice, chopped cilantro, diced tomato, and salt to the mashed avocado. Mix until well combined.

Burger Assembly

  1. 8

    Assemble Burgers

    Slice the ciabatta buns in half. On the bottom half, place a lettuce leaf, followed by a cooked quinoa-black bean patty, a slice of tomato, some onion slices, and a generous scoop of guacamole. Top with the other half of the bun.

  2. 9

    Serve

    Serve the burgers warm with your favorite side dishes.
