Phoenix Rising (gf) Recipe

Preparation Steps

1. 1

   Prepare the Black Bean Sliders

   In a mixing bowl, mash the black beans using a fork or potato masher until mostly smooth with some chunks remaining. Stir in the cooked quinoa, breadcrumbs, diced red onion, minced garlic, cumin, chili powder, salt, and half of the pepper jack cheese. Mix until well combined.

   Form the Sliders

   Shape the mixture into small patties, about 2-3 inches in diameter. Place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

   Cook the Sliders

   Preheat a skillet over medium heat and add olive oil. Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown and heated through. Top each slider with the remaining pepper jack cheese and cover for a minute to melt.
