Spicy Bean Burgers

Yield: 6 servings

Prep time: 15 minutes

Total time: 35 minutes

Ingredients

Banza Rice | 1 cup

Uncooked Quinoa | 1/2 cup

Vegetable Broth | 2 cups 

Black Beans | 1 can

Tomato Paste | 3 tbsps

Nutritional Yeast | 2 tbsps

Ground Flax Seed | 1 tbsp

Water | 1 tbsp 

Paprika | 1 tsp 

Garlic Powder | 1 tsp 

Black Pepper | 1/2 tsp 

Chili Powder | 1 tbsp

Directions

1. Add quinoa and vegetable broth to a pot and bring to a boil. Then simmer for 15 - 20 minutes until the water is absorbed.

2. Cook the rice according to directions. I used a mixture of rice and quinoa in this recipe because I had just a little bit of each of them. You can skip the rice or skip the quinoa and just use one type of grain if that's what you have on hand.

3. Add black beans to a medium sized bowl and mash with a fork or potato masher. Add cooked quinoa, rice, and other ingredients and combine.

4. Preheat oven to 400.

5. Use a 1/3 or 1/2 measuring cup to form patties by filling the cup and then flipping it over onto a greased baking sheet.

6. Bake for 20 minutes until outside is crispy.

7. If adding cheeze, place on patty at the 15 minute mark.

8. Enjoy!
