Burger

Ingredients Burger: 1/3 cup quinoa (cook according to package instructions) 1 can black beans (drained and rinsed well) 1/2 cup bread crumbs Half bell pepper (any color) 1 large egg 1/4 onion (yellow or red) 1-2 large cloves garlic, minced 1 jalapeno (optional) 1.5 tsp cumin 1 tsp salt (or more to taste) 1 teaspoon cholula or hot sauce 3 tablespoons olive oil Toppings: Typical lettuce (or spinach), sliced tomatoes, thin sliced red onion, ketchup, mustard, sliced jalapenos (highly recommended), etc. Air fried onion rings are a nice touch and adds crunch Instructions Cook Quinoa according to package instructions Use food processor (or mince really well) bell pepper, jalapeno, and onion After steps 1 and 2, mix all burger ingredients together. Should holdl together in your hand and be moist. Only add minimal water if it feels too dry. Use a fork and smash all the beans to make them more paste like. Then, mix and mash everything together with your hands and make 4 burgers (aim to have the thickness even throughout, as they cook better). Prep skillet with olive oil and heat up. Reduce heat to medium or medium low and lay 4 patties. Cook on one side until patties are somewhat firmer together (~10 minutes or so). Be patient and if you flip too early you will have crumbles!!! If you wait long enough, use spatula carefully and flip on other side to cook another 10 minutes or so. After cooking both sides should be very brown/black and stay together reasonably well.
