Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Rinse the quinoa under cold water.
- In a medium saucepan, bring 2 cups of water to a boil.
- Add the quinoa, lower the heat, and simmer for about 15 minutes, or until the quinoa is tender and the water is absorbed.
- Fluff with a fork and set aside to cool.
- In a large bowl, mash the black beans with a fork or potato masher until mostly smooth, leaving a few chunks for texture.
- Add the cooked quinoa, chopped coriander leaves, ground cumin, finely chopped coriander leaves, red pepper, minced garlic, a dash of salt, and a dash of black pepper.
- Mix until well combined.
- Add the lightly beaten egg to the black bean-quinoa mixture and mix until thoroughly combined.
- Shape the mixture into 4 equal patties.
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Add the patties to the skillet and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and firm.
- In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise salad dressing, lemon juice, and pepper sauce.
- Stir until the mixture is smooth and well combined. Adjust the spiciness to your liking.
- Toast the hamburger buns if desired.
- Spread a generous amount of spicy mayo on the bottom half of each bun.
- Place a black bean-quinoa patty on each bun.
- Top with slices of avocado, mango, and a few arugula leaves.
- Place the top half of the bun on top.
- Serve the black bean-quinoa burgers immediately, with any additional condiments or sides of your choice.
Tips:
- Ensure the quinoa is thoroughly cooked to avoid any bitterness and to give the burgers a better texture.
- For a firmer patty, refrigerate the burger mixture for at least 30 minutes before shaping and cooking.
- If the mixture feels too wet or sticky, add some breadcrumbs to help bind the ingredients together.
- Don't over-mix the black beans; leaving some texture will give the burgers a more enjoyable bite.
- When cooking, use medium heat to ensure the burgers cook evenly without burning the exterior.
- Customize the level of spiciness of the mayo to your preference by adjusting the amount of hot pepper sauce.
- Allow the flavors to meld by letting the burgers rest for a few minutes after cooking before assembling.
These black bean-quinoa burgers are a fantastic addition to your meal rotation, offering a tasty and healthy alternative to traditional meat-based burgers. The combination of spicy mayo, creamy avocado, and sweet mango creates a medley of flavors that will keep you coming back for more.
