Burger Patty

Toppings

Method

Prepare the Burger Patty

  1. 1

    Mash the Black Beans

    In a large bowl, drain and rinse the canned black beans. Use a fork or potato masher to mash them until mostly smooth, leaving some chunks for texture.

  2. 2

    Mix Ingredients

    Add the cooked quinoa, breadcrumbs, chipotle in adobo sauce, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and pepper to the mashed black beans. Mix until well combined.

  3. 3

    Form Patties

    Divide the mixture into four equal parts and shape them into patties. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up.

Grill the Vegetables

  1. 4

    Slice the Vegetables

    Slice the onion and bell pepper into thin strips.

  2. 5

    Grill the Onions and Peppers

    In a skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and peppers, cooking until they are softened and slightly charred, about 8-10 minutes. Set aside.

Cook the Burgers

  1. 6

    Heat Oil in Skillet

    In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil and heat over medium-high heat.

  2. 7

    Cook the Patties

    Add the refrigerated black bean patties to the skillet. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they are browned and heated through.

  3. 8

    Add Provolone Cheese

    In the last minute of cooking, place a slice of provolone cheese on each patty to melt.

Assemble the Burger

  1. 9

    Prepare the Buns

    Slice the burger buns in half. If desired, toast them lightly on a separate skillet or grill.

  2. 10

    Build the Burger

    On the bottom half of each bun, place a leaf of lettuce, a slice of tomato, and a slice of avocado. Then, add the cooked black bean patty with melted cheese, followed by the grilled onions and peppers. Top with the other half of the bun.
