Prep Time 14 minutes
Cook Time 21 minutes
Total Time 35 minutes
Yield 4 - 5 burgers

Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup uncooked quinoa
  • 2/3 cup water
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup tomato paste
  • 2 tsp oregano
  • 3/4 tsp onion powder
  • 1 cup cooked or canned pinto beans
  • burger buns and toppings of choice

Instructions

  • Combine the quinoa, water, and 1/4 tsp of the salt in a pot. Bring to a boil. Cover and simmer 14 minutes or until fluffy. If you wish to bake instead of fry the burgers, preheat oven to 400 F. Mash beans fully, then stir together all ingredients, including the quinoa. Form patties, and either fry over medium heat in a little oil OR place on a greased baking sheet and bake on the center rack 15 minutes, flip carefully (smushing back together if they crack while flipping), and bake an additional 6 minutes. Let cool completely. They are delicate due to the lack of flour, but they do hold together nicely as long as you use a spatula to move the patties. Top with traditional burger toppings or pizza toppings (such as fresh basil and tomato sauce) as desired.
