Burger Ingredients

Toppings

Method

Preparing the Patties

  1. 1

    Mash the Black Beans

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

  2. 2

    Combine Ingredients

    To the mashed beans, add the cooked quinoa, breadcrumbs, chopped onion, minced garlic, chili powder, cumin, salt, black pepper, and the egg (or flax egg). Mix well until all ingredients are combined evenly.

  3. 3

    Form Patties

    Divide the mixture into four equal portions and form each portion into a patty shape, about 1/2 inch thick.

Cooking the Patties

  1. 4

    Heat Olive Oil

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

  2. 5

    Cook the Patties

    Once the oil is hot, carefully place the patties in the skillet. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until they are golden brown and heated through.

Assembling the Burger

  1. 6

    Prepare the Buns

    While the patties are cooking, slice the whole wheat burger buns in half and toast them lightly if desired.

  2. 7

    Add Toppings

    On the bottom half of each bun, layer the lettuce, a black bean patty, tomato slices, and avocado slices. Drizzle with ketchup and mustard.

  3. 8

    Finish Assembling

    Place the top half of the bun over the assembled ingredients. Press down gently to secure everything in place.
