Ingredients
- 1 can (15 oz) black beans, drained and rinsed

- 1/4 cup finely chopped onion
- 1/4 cup chopped bell pepper
- 2 cloves garlic, minced

How to Make
Start by mashing the black beans in a large bowl until mostly smooth. Stir in the cooked quinoa, breadcrumbs, onion, bell pepper, garlic, and season with cumin, salt, and pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are fully combined. Form the mixture into burger patties of your desired size. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the patties and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crispy. Remove from heat and let them rest briefly before serving.
Tips
- Experiment with different beans like chickpeas for varied flavors.
- Add cheese or avocado for extra creaminess.
Make-Ahead
Prepare the mixture in advance, shape the patties, and store them in the fridge for up to 24 hours. This makes for a quick meal solution!
Storing
Place any leftover patties in an airtight container, and they will stay fresh for up to three days in the refrigerator.
Freezing
To preserve freshness, freeze uncooked patties separated by parchment paper. They can last up to three months in the freezer.
Reheating
Reheat in a skillet over medium heat until warmed through or bake in a preheated oven at 350°F for 15-20 minutes.
