Ingredients
- 1 can (15 oz) black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1/2 cup cooked quinoa or brown rice
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs (use gluten-free if desired)
- 1/4 cup BBQ sauce
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon cumin
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Olive oil for cooking
- Burger buns and toppings of choice (lettuce, tomato, avocado, etc.)
Instructions
- Prepare the Beans: In a large bowl, mash the black beans with a fork until mostly smooth, leaving some chunks for texture.
- Mix Ingredients: Add the cooked quinoa or brown rice, breadcrumbs, BBQ sauce, chopped onion, minced garlic, smoked paprika, cumin, salt, and pepper. Mix well until combined.
- Form Patties: Shape the mixture into burger patties, about 1/2 inch thick. If the mixture is too wet, add more breadcrumbs as needed.
- Cook the Patties: In a skillet, heat a little olive oil over medium heat. Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they are heated through and slightly crispy on the outside.
- Assemble: Serve the burgers on buns with your preferred toppings and extra BBQ sauce if desired.
