Grilled Black Bean & Quinoa Burgers (Vegetarian)

Ingredients

1 (15 ounce) Can of Black Beans, drained and rinsed

2 cups of cooked Quinoa

1/2 cup of Plain Bread Crumbs

1/4 cup minced Bell Pepper (any color)

1/4 cup minced Onion

2 cloves garlic Minced

1 1/2 tsp. Ground Cumin

1/2 tsp Frank's Hot Sauce

1/2 tsp sea salt

1 egg

olive oil

Directions

Preheat Grill

Roughly mash the black beans in a large bowl with a fork or potato masher.  Mash just enough to create a paste leaving some beans fairly whole.

Mix all ingredients into beans EXCEPT OLIVE OIL.  Use your hands to make sure all ingredients are well mixed.

Form Black Beans into 4 patties of equal size and shape.

Lightly Brush patties with olive oil.

Place on Grill and cook over direct heat for 5 minutes.

Brush with olive oil and flip.  Cook for an additional 5 minutes.

During last few minutes toast buns and serve with your favorite condiments.

In this case I used seeded tomatoes and Avocado

Enjoy.
