Ingredients
- 1/2 cup uncooked quinoa
- one 14-ounce can black beans, rinsed and drained
- 1 -2 individual chipotle peppers (not the whole can)
- 1/2 teaspoon each: garlic powder, onion powder, chili powder, cumin
- 1 egg, beaten
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup panko breadcrumbs
Steps
-
Cook quinoa according to package directions. Allow to cool.
-
Place black beans, quinoa, chipotles, and spices, in a food processor. Pulse just a few times, enough to make the mixture sticky and well-mixed but not completely pureed. Ideally there will be some chunks of black beans still intact.
-
Transfer mixture to a bowl. Using a spoon or your hands, mix with egg and panko. Form into 4 thick burgers.
-
Heat a generous swish of olive oil over medium high heat (nonstick pan works best here). Add burgers to the pan and fry for a few minutes on each side, flipping carefully to keep them intact, until they are golden brown and crispy on the outside.
-
Serve on buns with spicy mayo, avocado, lettuce, tomato, red onion (pickled if you want!), whatever suits your fancy!
