- 2 tablespoons Ground flaxseed
- 6 tablespoons Water (for flax egg)
- 2 tablespoons Tamari (gluten-free soy sauce)

Instructions
Rinse 1 cup of quinoa under cold water. In a medium saucepan, combine the quinoa with 2 cups of water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce to a simmer, cover, and cook for 15 minutes or until the water is absorbed. Set aside to cool.
Prepare the 'flax egg' by mixing 2 tablespoons of ground flaxseed with 6 tablespoons of water in a small bowl. Let it sit for 5 minutes to thicken.
In a large bowl, mash 1 can of black beans with a fork or potato masher until mostly smooth.
Add the grated carrot, chopped bell pepper, red onion, minced garlic, cooked quinoa, chickpea flour, flax egg, tamari, cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper to the mashed beans. Stir well until all ingredients are thoroughly combined.
Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and form into patties.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the patties and cook for 5-7 minutes on each side, or until crisp and cooked through.
Serve the patties on gluten-free buns and top with your choice of condiments and vegetables such as lettuce, tomato, and avocado.
