Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 15 oz canned black beans
- 1 cup cooked quinoa
- 0.5 cup breadcrumbs
- 1 large egg
- 0.5 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 each small onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- 0.5 tsp smoked paprika
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 0.25 tsp black pepper
- 4 each burger buns
- 4 each lettuce leaves
- 4 slices sliced tomatoes
Instructions
Drain and rinse the canned black beans well. Pat them dry with a paper towel.
In a large mixing bowl, mash the black beans with a fork or potato masher until they are mostly smooth but still have some texture.
Add the cooked quinoa, breadcrumbs, egg, shredded cheddar cheese, chopped onion, minced garlic, soy sauce, ground cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper to the mashed black beans.
Mix all the ingredients thoroughly until well combined. If the mixture feels too wet, add a bit more breadcrumbs.
Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape each portion into a patty about 1 inch thick.
Heat a tablespoon of olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Place the patties in the skillet and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and heated through.
While the patties are cooking, lightly toast the burger buns in a separate pan or toaster.
Assemble the burgers by placing a cooked patty on the bottom half of each bun. Top each patty with a slice of tomato, a lettuce leaf, and the top half of the bun.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Vegetarian Cheeseburger Patty Deluxe!
