INGREDIENTS
2 cups cooked black beans
1 cup cooked quinoa
6 large eggs
2 cups shelled edamame
1 cup low-fat cottage cheese
1/2 cup whole wheat breadcrumbs
1 medium red bell pepper, diced
1 small green chili, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp smoked paprika
Salt and black pepper to taste
PREPARATION
In a large bowl, mash the cooked black beans slightly with a fork, leaving some texture.
Add the cooked quinoa, shelled edamame, and low-fat cottage cheese to the beans. Mix gently to combine.
Whisk the eggs in a separate bowl and stir into the mixture along with the whole wheat breadcrumbs.
Fold in the diced red bell pepper, green chili, minced garlic, ground cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper until evenly distributed.
Using your hands or a spoon, shape the mixture into 4 uniform patties. If the mixture is too wet, add a bit more breadcrumbs.
Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly spray with cooking oil.
Cook each patty for about 4-5 minutes per side or until a crispy, golden crust forms and the center is heated through.
Serve warm, optionally topped with a squeeze of lime or your favorite fresh salsa.
