Burger Patties

Method

Burger Patties Preparation

  1. 1

    Combine the Base Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, mash the canned black beans with a fork until mostly smooth, leaving some chunks for texture. Add in the cooked quinoa, oats, chopped onion, minced garlic, ground cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until fully combined.

  2. 2

    Form the Patties

    Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape each portion into a patty, about 1 inch thick.

  3. 3

    Cook the Patties

    Heat olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Cook each patty for about 5-7 minutes on each side, until golden brown and heated through.

Assemble the Burger

  1. 4

    Prepare the Buns

    Toast the whole grain burger buns in the same skillet for 1-2 minutes until lightly browned.

  2. 5

    Add Toppings

    Spread mustard and ketchup on the bottom half of each bun. Place a cooked veggie patty on top, followed by sliced tomato, leafy lettuce, and sliced avocado.

  3. 6

    Complete the Burger

    Place the top half of the bun over the toppings to complete the burger.
