Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked quinoa (about 1/2 cup dry)
- 1 cup cooked brown rice
- 1/2 cup Fresh Spinach Leaves , packed then finely chopped
- 1/2 red bell pepper , finely diced
- 2 large eggs , slightly beaten
- 1/2 cup Panko bread crumbs (or rolled oats)
- 1/4 cup plain greek yogurt (or mayonnaise)
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper , to taste
Assembly:
- 5 whole wheat buns
- 5 lices Provolone cheese
- 1 1/2 cups baby arugula
- 1 tomato , thinly sliced
- 1 onion , thinly sliced
- 1 avocado , thinly sliced
- Your favorite sauce , try homemade Chick-fil-A sauce, BBQ sauce, Ranch or Thousand Island Dressing
Instructions
- Add all burger ingredients to a large mixing bowl and stir very well to combine. Taste and add a little more salt and pepper, or other spices, to your liking, if needed.
- Cover bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
- Line a large tray with parchment paper. Spoon burger mixture into a 1/2 cup measuring cup and pack it in with the back of a spoon.
- Invert mixture onto parchment paper. Use your hands to gently press down and mold the sides of the mixture to form a patty. Repeat with remaining mixture—it should make about 5 patties.
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add a little oil to the pan or spray really well with non-stick cooking spray.
- Once hot, add patties. Cook for 3-4 minutes or until crisp and golden on the bottom.
- Very carefully flip them to the other side and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes or until golden brown on that side.
- Serve burgers on a whole wheat bun or lettuce wrap. Top with provolone cheese, arugula, tomato, avocado, onion, and desired sauce.
