Yolanda’s Chipotle Black Bean Burger Recipe

Burger Preparation

1. 1

   Prepare the Black Bean Mixture

   In a large bowl, mash the black beans with a fork or potato masher until mostly smooth, leaving some chunks for texture. Stir in the cooked quinoa, chopped onion, chipotle peppers, garlic powder, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.

2. 2

   Form the Patties

   Add the whole wheat breadcrumbs to the black bean mixture and mix until the mixture holds together. Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and form each portion into a patty.

3. 3

   Cook the Patties

   In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the patties and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and heated through.

4. 4

   Assemble the Burgers

   Toast the whole wheat buns if desired. Place a lettuce leaf and a slice of tomato on the bottom half of each bun. Add the cooked black bean patty on top, then close with the top half of the bun.

5. 5

   Serve with Fries

   Serve the burgers immediately with a side of fries.
