Hearty Black Bean Burgers with Avocado Crema
Pan-seared black bean and quinoa patties served with a velvety avocado-lime crema inside crisp romaine lettuce wraps.
INGREDIENTS
1 cup black beans
1 large egg
3 tbsp nutritional yeast
0.25 cup cooked quinoa
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
0.25 tsp garlic powder
0.25 tsp ground cumin
0.5 cup non-fat Greek yogurt
2 tbsp avocado
1 tbsp lime juice
1 tsp extra virgin olive oil
2 large romaine lettuce leaves
PREPARATION
Drain and rinse the black beans, then pat them dry with a paper towel to ensure the patties hold together without becoming mushy.
In a medium bowl, mash the beans with a fork until mostly smooth but still retaining some hearty chunks for texture.
Mix in the egg, nutritional yeast, cooked quinoa, sea salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and ground cumin until the mixture is uniform.
Form the bean mixture into two thick patties of equal size.
In a small bowl, whisk together the non-fat Greek yogurt, mashed avocado, and lime juice until the crema is silky and smooth.
Heat the extra virgin olive oil in a skillet over medium heat and cook the patties for about 5 minutes per side until a golden crust forms.
Serve the warm patties nestled inside large romaine lettuce leaves and topped with a generous dollop of the avocado crema.
