Servings: 6 burgers
Calories: 158kcal
Ingredients
- 1 can black beans, rinsed
- 1 cup cooked quinoa
- 1 ear corn, husked and kernals cut off, save cob
- 1/4 cup white onion, chopped
- 1/4 cup red bell pepper, chopped
- 1 fresno chili, thinly sliced and seeded (optional)
- 1/4 cup Greek yogurt
- 1/2 cup dry breadcrumbs
- 1/2 cup cilantro, roughly chopped
- 1-2 limes
- 1/2 tsp cumin
- 1/4 tsp smoked paprika
- 1/4 tsp chili powder
- salt and pepper
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a large bowl, combine all bean burger ingredients. Using the back side of a knife, scrape the corn cob to release the milk into the bowl. Discard the cob. Use a potato masher (or a fork) to mash about 3/4 of the beans leaving some whole for texture.
- Wet your hands. Take a large spoon and scoop about a 1/4 cup of mixture. Shape with your hands into either burgers or sliders (should make about 6 burgers or 9 sliders). Place on the lined baking sheet. Bake for 12-18 minutes or until they look cooked and have dried out a bit.
- Use immediately, refrigerate or freeze. My favorite way to eat these is as a taco filling with a hard corn shell, guacamole and shredded cheese.
Notes
Bean burgers are easy to make. The options are endless so don't feel too tied to the recipe - improvise! I always pop a few in the freezer for quick weeknight meals.
I also love to serve a bean burger with the Savory Quinoa Breakfast Bowl on my Something Borrowed page. (I make it for breakfast, lunch AND dinner!)
