Patty Ingredients

Toppings

Method

Prepare the Patty Mixture

  1. 1

    Mash the Black Beans

    In a large bowl, mash the canned black beans using a fork or potato masher until mostly smooth, leaving some chunks for texture.

  2. 2

    Mix in Quinoa and Vegetables

    Add the cooked quinoa, finely chopped onion, minced garlic, grated carrot, cumin powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper to the mashed black beans. Stir until well combined.

  3. 3

    Add Bread Crumbs

    Gradually add the bread crumbs to the mixture, stirring until the mixture holds together. You may need to adjust the amount of bread crumbs depending on the moisture of the mixture.

  4. 4

    Shape the Patties

    Form the mixture into 4 equal-sized patties. If the mixture is too sticky, wet your hands with a bit of water to make shaping easier.

Cook the Patties

  1. 5

    Heat the Olive Oil

    In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.

  2. 6

    Cook the Patties

    Place the patties in the skillet and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and heated through.

Assemble the Burger

  1. 7

    Prepare the Buns

    Toast the whole wheat burger buns lightly if desired.

  2. 8

    Add Toppings

    On the bottom half of each bun, place a lettuce leaf, followed by the cooked veggie patty, slices of tomato, and avocado. Add ketchup and mustard to taste.

  3. 9

    Serve

    Place the top half of the bun on the assembled burger and serve immediately.
