Ingredients
Scale
- 1 can black beans (15 oz), drained and rinsed
- 1 cup cooked quinoa
- 1 cup bell peppers, chopped
- 1/2 cup onions, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup rolled oats
- 1 tsp cumin
- 1 tsp paprika
- 2 tbsp olive oil (plus more for cooking)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Whole-grain or gluten-free buns
Instructions
- Gather all ingredients to streamline the cooking process.
- Rinse quinoa under cold water. In a saucepan, combine quinoa with 2 cups of water. Bring to a boil, then cover and simmer on low for about 15 minutes until water is absorbed.
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sauté onions and bell peppers until soft (about 5 minutes).
- In a large bowl, mash black beans until mostly smooth but slightly chunky.
- Mix in cooked quinoa, sautéed vegetables, oats, garlic, cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper until well combined.
- Shape the mixture into patties about 3 inches wide. If crumbly, add more oats as needed.
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook each patty for about 5–6 minutes per side until golden brown.
- Assemble on buns with desired toppings like avocado or lettuce and serve hot.
Notes
- Substitute lentils for black beans if desired.
- Add extra spices like smoked paprika for additional flavor.
- Chill the mixture before shaping patties to help them hold together better.
