  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • ½ teaspoon cumin
  • ½ teaspoon dried oregano

  • 1 (15-ounce) can black beans, drained and rinsed
  • ½ cup flour
  • 1 large egg
  • ⅓ cup edamame, defrosted if frozen

  • 4 slices cheddar cheese

For Serving:

  • ½ cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon barbeque sauce
  • 1 clove garlic, minced

Instructions

Prepare Burgers:

  • Combine quinoa, 1 cup water, and ½ tsp. salt in a small saucepan. Bring water to boil, cover pan and reduce heat to a low simmer.
  • Cook quinoa until tender, about 15 minutes. Set aside to cool slightly.
  • While quinoa is cooking, heat 1 teaspoon olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.
  • Add onion and red pepper to pan. Cook, stirring frequently, until browned and softened.
  • Reduce heat to medium and allow pan to cool slightly. 
  • Stir garlic, paprika, cumin, oregano, red pepper flakes, and ½ tsp. salt into pan. Cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant (about 30 seconds). Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.
  • Mash black beans into a paste. Combine black beans, flour, egg, quinoa, and onion/red pepper. Mix well.
  • Stir edamame and green onion into black bean mixture. Taste and add more salt, if necessary.
  • Shape mixture into 4 patties.
  • Heat remaining 2 teaspoons olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add burgers and cook until browned on one side, then flip.
  • Top burgers with cheddar cheese.
  • Continue cooking burgers until browned on bottom and cheese is melted.

To Serve:

  • While burgers are cooking, mix together mayonnaise, barbeque sauce, and garlic clove.
  • Serve burgers on buns with lettuce and tomato, topped with sauce. Enjoy!
