Instructions
Mash the black beans in a large bowl until mostly smooth but with some chunks remaining for texture.
Add quinoa, grated carrots, chopped onions, minced garlic, breadcrumbs, soy sauce, cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper to the bowl. Mix well until combined.
Form the mixture into 4 equal-sized patties, about 1/2 inch thick. Place on a plate and refrigerate for 15 minutes to firm up.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook the patties for 4-5 minutes per side, until golden brown and crispy.
Toast the whole wheat buns lightly in the same skillet or in a toaster.
Assemble the burgers with lettuce, tomato, and avocado slices. Serve immediately.
Chef's Tips
- Binding Tip: If the mixture is too wet, add more breadcrumbs. If too dry, add a tablespoon of water or flax egg.
- Make Ahead: Patties can be formed and refrigerated for up to 24 hours before cooking.
- Grill Option: These burgers can also be grilled for a smokier flavor.
- Freezing: Cooked patties freeze well for up to 3 months. Reheat in oven or skillet.
- Sauce Ideas: Try with vegan mayo, mustard, or a tahini sauce for extra flavor.
