Smoky Southwest Black Bean Quinoa Burgers
These vibrant burgers pack a punch of smoky, southwestern flavors with hearty black beans, fluffy quinoa, and just the right blend of spices. Perfectly pan-seared for a crisp exterior, they offer a satisfying bite any time of day.
INGREDIENTS
2 cups Black Beans (no salt added)
1.5 cups Cooked Quinoa
3 large Eggs
1/4 cup Rolled Oats
1/2 cup diced Red Bell Pepper
1/4 cup diced Onion
2 cloves Garlic, minced
2 tsp Mixed Spices (Chili Powder, Cumin, Smoked Paprika, Salt, Pepper)
2 tbsp Fresh Cilantro (garnish)
PREPARATION
In a large bowl, rinse and drain the black beans. Using a fork or potato masher, gently mash the beans, leaving some whole for texture.
Add the cooked quinoa, diced red bell pepper, diced onion, and minced garlic to the bowl.
Stir in the rolled oats and mixed spices, ensuring even distribution of flavors.
Crack the eggs into the mixture and combine thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated. The eggs will act as a binder.
Form the mixture into 2 equal-sized patties.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. If desired, lightly spray with a cooking spray.
Cook each patty for about 5-6 minutes on each side or until a crispy, golden crust forms and the center is set.
Transfer the patties to a plate and garnish with fresh cilantro. Serve warm, either on a whole-grain bun or over a bed of greens.
