Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup cooked quinoa
  • 1 1/2 cups cooked and rinsed black beans or 1 15.5-oz. can rinsed
  • 1/2 tsp. cumin powder
  • 1/2 tsp. smoked paprika
  • 1/2 tsp. fresh cracked black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp. salt
  • 1 tbsp. nutritional yeast
  • 1 tbsp. olive oil
  • 1 chia egg or use 1 small regular egg for non-vegan

Instructions
 

  • Combine all the ingredients in a mixing bowl. Mix with your hands so you can smash some of the beans into the mixture. The mixture will become dough like and well mixed, with some of the black beans still intact.
  • Separate into desired sizes of patties.
  • Cook on a medium-hot griddle or sautee pan with just a touch of oil. Use a teflon pan for oil free. Cook on each side for about 10 minutes. The patties should be browned on each side and cooked through.
  • Enjoy as traditional burgers or as a stand alone entree patty. Add caramelized onions, sautéed mushroom, horseradish aioli, or any other favorite burger topping.
