Method

Burger Patty Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Black Beans

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

  2. 2

    Mix Ingredients

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

  3. 3

    Form Patties

    Divide the mixture into equal portions and shape them into patties, about ½ inch thick.

  4. 4

    Cook the Patties

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

Assembly

  1. 5

    Prepare the Toppings

    Slice the ripe avocado and tomato. Wash and dry the lettuce leaves.

  2. 6

    Assemble the Burger

    Place a patty on the bottom half of each burger bun. Top with sliced avocado, lettuce leaves, and sliced tomato. Place the top half of the bun on top.

  3. 7

    Serve the veggie burgers immediately while warm, with your favorite side dish.
