Instructions
- Boil a large pot of water. Add the sweet potatoes to the boiling water, cook for 15-20 minutes, or until fork tender.
- While the potatoes are boiling, rinse and drain the black beans. Add 1 cup of the beans to a large mixing bowl and smash with a fork to create a paste to hold the burgers together.
- Drain the sweet potatoes and add them to the smashed beans. Smash them into the mixture with a fork without turning them into a puree.
- Add the cooked quinoa to the mixing bowl.
- Add the diced onion, red pepper, jalapeño, garlic and the remaining whole black beans.
- Add the cumin, chipotle pepper, cilantro, crushed rice chex (or breadcrumbs), and egg.
- Mix together, then use your hands to form the mixture into 9 burger patties.
- Place the burgers on a grill over medium heat for 10 minutes, flip and grill for an additional 10 minutes.
Notes
- The nutritional information provided is for each veggie burger patty and does not contain any toppings or hamburger buns.
- Other cooking methods: Place the burgers on a baking sheet in a 375°F oven for 20 minutes, flipping half-way through, or cook them in a cast iron skillet on the stove over medium heat for 10 minutes per side.
- Gluten free breadcrumbs can be substituted for the crushed rice chex cereal. Or if you're not gluten free, you can use traditional panko breadcrumbs.
