Toppings
Method
Preparing the Burger Patties
Mash the Black Beans
In a large mixing bowl, mash the cooked black beans with a fork or potato masher until mostly smooth, leaving some chunks for texture.
Combine Ingredients
Add the cooked quinoa, breadcrumbs, chopped onion, minced garlic, ground cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper to the mashed black beans. Mix until well combined.
Form Patties
Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each portion into a patty, about 1/2 inch thick.
Assembling the Burger
Prepare Toppings
While the patties are cooking, slice the ripe avocado and wash the lettuce leaves.
Toast Buns
If desired, toast the burger buns in a toaster or on a skillet until lightly browned.
Assemble the Burger
On the bottom half of each burger bun, place a lettuce leaf, followed by a patty. Top with sliced avocado and a generous spoonful of salsa. Place the top half of the bun on each burger.
