Ingredients
Scale
- 1 can black beans (15 oz), drained and rinsed
- 1 cup cooked quinoa
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
- 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp cumin
- 1 large egg (or flax egg)
- 2 tbsp olive oil (plus more for cooking)

Instructions
- Prepare quinoa: Rinse 1 cup of quinoa under cold water. In a saucepan, combine it with 2 cups of water or vegetable broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes until fluffy.
- Sauté vegetables: In a skillet over medium heat, heat olive oil and sauté diced onions until softened (about 5 minutes). Add minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.
- Mash black beans: In a mixing bowl, mash the drained black beans until mostly smooth but slightly chunky.
- Combine ingredients: Add cooked quinoa, sautéed onions and garlic, breadcrumbs, cilantro, cumin, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and the egg (or flax egg) to the mashed beans. Mix thoroughly.
- Shape patties: Form the mixture into patties about ¾ inch thick and place them on parchment paper.
- Cook burgers: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat or preheat your grill. Cook patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown.
