INGREDIENTS
1/2 cup black beans (cooked)
1/2 cup cooked quinoa
3 large eggs
2 tbsp whole wheat breadcrumbs
1/4 cup low-fat cottage cheese
1/4 cup diced red bell pepper
1/4 cup diced onion
1 tsp minced chipotle pepper in adobo
1 clove garlic, minced
1/2 tsp smoked paprika
Salt and pepper to taste
PREPARATION
In a large mixing bowl, mash the black beans until mostly smooth with a few chunks remaining for texture.
Stir in the cooked quinoa, diced red bell pepper, diced onion, minced garlic, chipotle pepper, and smoked paprika.
Crack in the eggs and add the low-fat cottage cheese along with the whole wheat breadcrumbs. Season with salt and pepper.
Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well combined. If the mixture seems too wet, add a bit more breadcrumbs.
Form the mixture into equal-sized patties, about 2-3 patties depending on desired portion size.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Lightly spray with cooking spray or add a small drizzle of olive oil.
Cook the patties for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they are firm and golden brown on the outside.
Serve warm, either on a whole grain bun or over a fresh salad for a balanced meal.
