Enjoy a hearty, flavorful burger with a smoky southwest twist. These black bean quinoa patties combine the earthiness of black beans and quinoa with the vibrant crunch of red bell pepper, onion, and fresh cilantro, all seasoned with cumin and smoked paprika.

INGREDIENTS
1 can (15 oz) black beans, drained
1 cup cooked quinoa
3 large eggs
1/2 cup chopped red bell pepper
1/2 cup chopped yellow onion
1 garlic clove, minced
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
1 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp smoked paprika
Salt and pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Drain and rinse the black beans. In a large bowl, lightly mash them with a fork until mostly broken down but still retaining some texture.
Add the cooked quinoa and mix well with the mashed beans.
Beat the 3 eggs in a small bowl and then stir them into the bean and quinoa mixture.
Fold in the chopped red bell pepper, yellow onion, minced garlic, and fresh cilantro.
Sprinkle in the ground cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
Divide the mixture into 2 equal portions and shape each portion into a patty.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Lightly spray with cooking spray or add a small amount of olive oil.
Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until they are firm and slightly crispy on the outside.
Serve warm on their own or on a whole-grain bun with your favorite toppings.
