Ingredients
Chipotle Black Bean Quinoa Burgers
- 1 ½ cups cooked black beans or a 15 oz can, rinsed
- ½ cup uncooked quinoa cooked according to package directions
- ¼ cup panko
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- ½ to 1 tbsp minced chipotle in adobo sauce
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- salt to taste
- 1 egg lightly beaten
- Buns Sweet Corn Relish, cheese, lettuce, cilantro, onions, tomatoes, and anything else you like on your burgers
Sweet Corn Relish
- 2 ears corn kernels removed
- ¼ cup chopped yellow onion
- 1 Jalapeno pepper seeded and minced
- 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 1 tbsp white sugar (organic for vegan-friendly)
- pinch of salt
Instructions
Chipotle Black Bean Quinoa Burgers
- Preheat oven to 400ºF.
- Mash half of the black beans in a large bowl. Stir in remaining black beans, quinoa, panko, garlic, minced chipotle, onion powder, and cumin. Once all ingredients are fully incorporated, add salt to taste. Fold in the beaten egg.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Divide the burger mixture into 6 mounds on the baking sheet, then shape each mound into a bun-sized patty. Bake the burgers for about 20 minutes, carefully flipping halfway through baking time. They're done when they're baked through and slightly crispy on the edges. Serve with Sweet Corn relish and your favorite veggie burger toppings.
Cup of Yum
Sweet Corn Relish
- Combine all ingredients in a small saucepan and bring to a boil. Cover and simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Refrigerate up to 2 days before serving.
Notes
- I tested this recipe several times and I preferred ½ tablespoon of chipotle, while Chris preferred a full tablespoon. If you're not sure, I'd start with ½ tablespoon, taste the burger mixture (before you put the egg in!), and add more from there.
