INGREDIENTS
1.5 cups cooked black beans
1/2 cup cooked quinoa
1/2 cup diced red bell pepper
1/4 cup diced red onion
1 large egg
1/4 cup whole wheat breadcrumbs
1 tbsp olive oil
1/2 tsp ground cumin
1/2 tsp smoked paprika
Salt and black pepper to taste
PREPARATION
In a large bowl, lightly mash the black beans with a fork until mostly broken down while still retaining some texture.
Stir in the cooked quinoa, diced red bell pepper, and red onion.
Add the egg, whole wheat breadcrumbs, ground cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well combined.
Divide the mixture into two equal portions and shape them into patties.
Heat the olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until each side is golden brown and the patties are heated through.
Serve the burgers on their own, or pair with a side salad and whole grain bun if desired.
