Method

Patty Preparation

  1. 1

    Cook Quinoa

    Rinse quinoa under cold water. In a pot, add quinoa and 2 cups of water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes until water is absorbed. Remove from heat and let it cool.

  2. 2

    Mash Black Beans

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

  3. 3

    Combine Ingredients

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

  4. 4

    Form Patties

    Shape the mixture into four equal-sized patties. If the mixture is too wet, add more breadcrumbs to help bind.

  5. 5

    Cook Patties

    In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until they are golden brown and heated through.

Assembling the Burger

  1. 6

    Prepare Bun

    Lightly toast the whole wheat burger buns for added texture.

  2. 7

    Add Toppings

    On the bottom half of each bun, layer lettuce leaves, followed by the veggie patty, sliced tomato, avocado, red onion, and pickles.

  3. 8

    Final Touch

    Spread ketchup and mustard on the top half of the bun before closing the burger.
