Preparation Details

Cook Time: 20 mins

Total Time: 35 mins

Servings: 5

Ingredients

  • ½ cup water
  • ¼ cup quinoa
  • 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
  • 1 teaspoon hot pepper sauce (such as Frank’s RedHot®)
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil

Steps

  1. Bring water and quinoa 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.
  2. Roughly mash black beans with a fork, leaving some whole, to form a paste-like mixture. Mix quinoa, bread crumbs, bell pepper, egg, onion, garlic, cumin, hot pepper sauce, and salt into black beans using your hands. Form into 5 patties.
  3. Add olive oil to a large skillet and heat on medium.
  4. Cook patties until heated through and lightly browned, 2 to 3 minutes per side.
