Dairy-Free Black Bean Burgers

Ingredients

• 2 cans Black beans
• 1 cup Cooked quinoa
• 1/2 medium Red onion
• 1/2 medium Bell pepper
• 2 cloves Garlic
• 1 teaspoon Chili powder
• 1/2 teaspoon Cumin
• 1/2 cup Breadcrumbs
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 1/2 teaspoon Salt
• 1/4 teaspoon Black pepper
• 4 count Dairy-free hamburger buns

Instructions

1. 1Open the 2 cans of black beans and pour them into a colander. Rinse the beans under cold water and then drain them well.
2. 2Place the rinsed and drained black beans in a large bowl. Use a fork to mash the black beans until they are mostly broken down, but still have some texture.
3. 3Add the 1 cup of cooked quinoa, 1/2 medium red onion (finely chopped), 1/2 medium bell pepper (finely chopped), 2 cloves garlic (minced), 1 teaspoon chili powder, 1/2 teaspoon cumin, 1/2 cup breadcrumbs, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper to the bowl with the mashed black beans.
4. 4Mix all the ingredients in the bowl together thoroughly with your hands or a sturdy spoon until everything is evenly combined.
5. 5Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each portion into a patty, about 3/4-inch thick.
6. 6Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a 10-inch non-stick skillet over medium heat, which is about 350°F (175°C).
7. 7Carefully place the 4 patties into the hot skillet. Cook for 5 to 7 minutes on the first side, until the bottom is golden brown and firm to the touch. Flip the patties and cook for another 5 to 7 minutes on the second side, until they are also golden brown and heated through.
8. 8Serve the cooked black bean burgers immediately on the 4 count dairy-free hamburger buns with your favorite toppings.
