Method

Preparation of Ingredients

  1. 1

    Cook Quinoa

    Rinse 1 cup of quinoa under cold water. In a saucepan, combine quinoa with 2 cups of water. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer, cover, and cook for 15 minutes or until the water is absorbed. Fluff with a fork and set aside.

  2. 2

    Prepare Sweet Potatoes

    Peel and dice the sweet potatoes into small cubes. Boil in a pot of water for about 15-20 minutes until tender. Drain and mash in a bowl.

  3. 3

    Chop Vegetables

    Finely chop the red onion and garlic. Chop the cilantro and set aside.

Mixing the Ingredients

  1. 4

    Combine Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed sweet potatoes, cooked quinoa, black beans, breadcrumbs, chopped red onion, minced garlic, and chopped cilantro.

  2. 5

    Add Spices

    Sprinkle the cumin, paprika, salt, black pepper, and chili powder into the mixture. Stir until all ingredients are evenly combined.

  3. 6

    Form Patties

    With your hands, form the mixture into patties, about 2 inches in diameter and 1 inch thick. You should yield about 8 patties.

Cooking the Sliders

  1. 7

    Cook Patties

    Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add a little oil to the skillet. Cook the patties for about 5-6 minutes on each side until golden brown and heated through.

  2. 8

    Toast Buns

    While the patties are cooking, toast the burger buns in another skillet or a toaster until they are lightly browned.

Serving

  1. 9

    Assemble Sliders

    Place a patty on the bottom half of each toasted bun. Top with a slice of avocado, a lettuce leaf, and a slice of tomato. Cover with the top half of the bun.

  2. 10

    Serve

    Serve the sliders warm with your favorite dipping sauce or enjoy as is.
