Smoky Southwest Black Bean Quinoa Burgers
Enjoy these hearty, flavorful burgers that combine creamy black beans, nutty quinoa, and aromatic spices for a satisfying meal. With a smoky southwest twist and vibrant diced veggies, each bite offers a perfect blend of texture and robust taste.
INGREDIENTS
1 cup Black Beans
1/3 cup Quinoa
3 large Eggs
1/4 cup diced Red Bell Pepper
1/4 cup diced Red Onion
1 clove Garlic
2 tbsp chopped Cilantro
Spices: Cumin, Smoked Paprika, Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
If using dried black beans, soak them overnight and cook until tender. For convenience, you can use canned black beans; just drain and rinse them well.
In a bowl, gently mash the black beans leaving some texture. Stir in the uncooked quinoa, diced red bell pepper, red onion, minced garlic, and chopped cilantro.
Beat the eggs in a small bowl and add them to the bean mixture along with cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix all ingredients until well combined.
Let the mixture rest for 5-10 minutes to allow flavors to meld and the quinoa to absorb some moisture.
Form the mixture into even patties. This recipe should yield approximately 2 hearty burgers.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Lightly spray or use a minimal amount of oil if desired.
Cook each patty for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until they are heated through and have a crisp, golden exterior.
Remove from the skillet and serve warm. Enjoy them on their own, or in a whole grain bun with your favorite toppings!
