Method

Preparing the Patties

  1. 1

    Mash 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 in Other Ingredients

    Add the cooked quinoa, finely chopped onion, grated carrot, minced garlic, ground cumin, ground coriander, salt, and pepper to the bowl. Mix well until all ingredients are combined.

  3. 3

    Add Breadcrumbs

    Gradually add the breadcrumbs to the mixture, stirring until the mixture holds together. If it’s too wet, add more breadcrumbs as needed.

  4. 4

    Form Patties

    Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each portion into a patty.

Cooking the Patties

  1. 5

    Heat the Oil

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

  2. 6

    Cook the Patties

    Place the formed patties in the skillet and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until golden brown and heated through.

  3. 7

    Remove from Skillet

    Once cooked, remove the patties from the skillet and set aside on a plate.

Assembling the Burger

    Prepare the Buns

    Slice the burger buns in half and toast them lightly if desired.

    On the bottom half of each bun, add a patty, followed by sliced avocado, sliced tomato, leafy lettuce, and sliced red onion.
