INGREDIENTS
1 cup cooked black beans (172g)
1/4 cup cooked quinoa (43g)
1 whole egg
2 egg whites
1 reduced-fat cheese slice (28g)
1/4 cup chopped red bell pepper
2 tbsp chopped onion
1/2 tsp smoked paprika
1/2 tsp ground cumin
2 tbsp chopped cilantro
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
In a large bowl, mash the cooked black beans with a fork, leaving some texture for bite.
Stir in the cooked quinoa, whole egg, egg whites, and reduced-fat cheese until well combined.
Mix in the chopped red bell pepper, onion, cilantro, smoked paprika, ground cumin, and a pinch of salt and pepper.
Form the mixture into 3-4 patties, pressing firmly so they hold together.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly coat with cooking spray. Place the patties in the skillet and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until they form a nice crust and are heated through.
Remove from the heat and serve warm, either on their own, over a salad, or inside a whole-grain bun for an extra hearty option.
