INGREDIENTS
1 cup canned black beans (drained)
1/4 cup uncooked quinoa
1 large egg
2 tablespoons rolled oats
1/4 cup nonfat Greek yogurt
1/4 cup chopped red bell pepper
1/4 cup chopped red onion
1 clove minced garlic
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
2 large romaine lettuce leaves
Salt and pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Rinse and drain the black beans thoroughly if using canned beans.
In a medium bowl, mash the black beans leaving some chunks for texture.
Rinse the quinoa under cold water and cook it as per package instructions or use pre-cooked quinoa if available. Once cooled, add to the mashed beans.
Add the egg, rolled oats, chopped red bell pepper, chopped red onion, minced garlic, and chopped cilantro to the bean and quinoa mixture. Season with salt and pepper.
Mix all ingredients well until combined. Form the mixture into a patty shape.
Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat. Lightly spray with cooking spray if desired and cook the patty for about 3-4 minutes per side until it develops a crispy exterior.
Prepare the romaine lettuce leaves as wraps by washing and drying them thoroughly.
Place the crispy burger patty onto the lettuce leaves and top with nonfat Greek yogurt.
Serve immediately and enjoy your protein-packed, crispy black bean quinoa burger lettuce wrap.
