Burger Patty

Method

Burger Patty Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Black Beans

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

  2. 2

    Combine Ingredients

    Add cooked quinoa, chopped onion, minced garlic, minced chipotle, chopped cilantro, ground cumin, salt, black pepper, and breadcrumbs to the mashed black beans. Mix well until all ingredients are fully incorporated.

  3. 3

    Form Patties

    Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each portion into a patty, ensuring they are compact and hold together.

  4. 4

    Cook the Patties

    Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the patties and cook for 5-6 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and heated through.

Burger Assembly

  1. 5

    Toast the Buns

    While the patties are cooking, lightly toast the whole wheat burger buns on a separate skillet or in a toaster for added texture.

  2. 6

    Assemble the Burgers

    Spread sour cream or yogurt on the bottom half of each toasted bun. Place a lettuce leaf, followed by the cooked black bean chipotle patty, slices of tomato, avocado, and jalapeños if desired. Top with the other half of the bun.

  3. 7

    Serve

    Serve the burgers immediately while warm, alongside your favorite side dishes.
