These vegetarian black bean and quinoa burgers are delicious! Your carnivorous friends will be impressed. My favorite way to serve them is on a whole wheat bun with garlic-lemon mayonnaise, fresh spinach leaves, sliced tomato, and caramelized onions.

Ingredients

¼ cup quinoa
½ cup water
1 (15 ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained
½ cup bread crumbs
¼ cup minced yellow bell pepper
1 large egg
2 tablespoons minced onion
1 large clove garlic, minced
1 ½ teaspoons ground cumin
½ teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon hot pepper sauce (such as Frank's RedHot®)
3 tablespoons olive oil

Directions

Bring quinoa and water to a boil in a saucepan. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until quinoa is tender and water has been absorbed, about 15 to 20 minutes.
Roughly mash black beans with a fork, leaving some whole black beans, to form a paste-like mixture. Mix quinoa, bread crumbs, bell pepper, egg, onion, garlic, cumin, salt, and hot pepper sauce into black beans using your hands. Form black bean mixture into 5 patties.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet.
Cook patties in hot oil until heated through, 2 to 3 minutes per side.
