Burger Patty

Toppings

Method

Prepare Burger Patty

  1. 1

    Drain and Rinse Beans

    Drain and rinse the canned black beans under cold water. Set aside.

  2. 2

    Mash Beans

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

  3. 3

    Mix Ingredients

    Add the cooked quinoa, bread crumbs, chopped red onion, minced garlic, cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper to the mashed beans. Mix well until combined.

  4. 4

    Form Patties

    Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape each portion into a patty, about 1/4 pound each.

  5. 5

    Chill Patties

    Place the formed patties on a plate and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up.

Cook Patties

  1. 6

    Heat Oil

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

  2. 7

    Cook Patties

    Once the oil is hot, carefully add the veggie patties to the skillet. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until crispy and golden brown.

  3. 8

    Remove from Heat

    Once cooked, transfer the patties to a paper towel-lined plate to absorb excess oil.

Assemble Burger

  1. 9

    Toast Buns

    If desired, toast the whole wheat burger buns on a skillet or in a toaster.

  2. 10

    Add Toppings

    On the bottom half of each burger bun, place a lettuce leaf, followed by a veggie patty, slices of tomato, and avocado.

  3. 11

    Condiments

    Add ketchup and mustard to taste on the top half of the bun.

  4. 12

    Serve

    Top each assembled burger with the bun lid and serve immediately.
