STEPS

1

Bring water and quinoa to a boil in a saucepan. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until quinoa is tender and water has been absorbed about 15 to 20 minutes.

2

Roughly mash black beans with a fork, leaving some whole, to form a paste-like mixture. Mix quinoa, bread crumbs, bell pepper, egg, onion, garlic, cumin, hot pepper sauce, and salt into black beans using your hands. Form into 5 patties.

3

Add olive oil to a large skillet and heat on medium.

4

Cook patties until heated through and lightly browned, 2 to 3 minutes per side.
