INGREDIENTS
1/2 cup canned black beans, drained
1/3 cup cooked quinoa
1 large egg
2 egg whites
1/4 cup shredded low-fat cheddar cheese
2 tbsp rolled oats
1 tsp olive oil (spray)
2 romaine lettuce leaves
Pinches of cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper
PREPARATION
In a medium bowl, mash the black beans until mostly smooth with a few chunks remaining for texture.
Stir in the cooked quinoa, rolled oats, spices (cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper), large egg, and egg whites until well combined.
Fold in the shredded low-fat cheddar cheese, mixing evenly throughout the mixture.
Lightly spray a non-stick skillet with olive oil and heat over medium heat.
Form the mixture into a patty about the size of your palm, pressing firmly to ensure it holds together.
Cook the patty for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until it turns crispy and golden brown on the outside.
Remove the cooked patty from the skillet and let it rest for a minute.
Place the patty onto two large romaine lettuce leaves, using them as wraps.
Serve immediately while warm, optionally garnished with a squeeze of lime or your favorite salsa.
