Quinoa Black Bean Burgers

These vegetarian black bean and quinoa burgers are delicious! Your carnivorous friends will be impressed. My favorite way to serve them is on a whole wheat bun with garlic-lemon mayonnaise, fresh spinach leaves, sliced tomato, and caramelized onions.

Ingredients

Ingredients List

  • ¼ cup quinoa

  • ½ cup water

  • 1 (15 ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained

  • ½ cup bread crumbs

  • ¼ cup minced yellow bell pepper

  • 1 large egg

  • 2 tablespoons minced onion

  • 1 large clove garlic, minced

  • 1 ½ teaspoons ground cumin

  • ½ teaspoon salt

  • 1 teaspoon hot pepper sauce (such as Frank's RedHot®)

  • 3 tablespoons olive oil


Directions

  1. Bring quinoa and water to a boil in a saucepan. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until quinoa is tender and water has been absorbed, about 15 to 20 minutes.

  2. Roughly mash black beans with a fork, leaving some whole black beans, to form a paste-like mixture. Mix quinoa, bread crumbs, bell pepper, egg, onion, garlic, cumin, salt, and hot pepper sauce into black beans using your hands. Form black bean mixture into 5 patties.

  3. Heat olive oil in a large skillet.

  4. Cook patties in hot oil until heated through, 2 to 3 minutes per side.
