Veggie Patty

Toppings

Method

Preparing the Veggie Patty

  1. 1

    Mix the Ingredients

    In a large bowl, combine the cooked black beans, cooked quinoa, chopped green chile, breadcrumbs, minced garlic, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Mash the mixture with a fork or potato masher until fully combined but still slightly chunky.

  2. 2

    Form the Patties

    Divide the mixture into two equal portions and shape them into patties.

  3. 3

    Cook the Patties

    Heat olive oil in a grill pan over medium heat. Cook the patties for about 5-7 minutes on each side or until they are golden brown and heated through.

Assembling the Burger

  1. 4

    Grill the Onion

    While the patties are cooking, grill the onion slices until they are caramelized and soft.

  2. 5

    Assemble the Burger

    On the bottom half of each sesame bun, place a patty, top with grilled onions, a slice of Swiss cheese, guacamole, lettuce, and tomato. Cover with the top half of the bun.
