🥦 Vegan Burger 🥦

Prepare the Patties: - In a large bowl, mash the black beans with a fork or potato masher until mostly smooth. - Add cooked quinoa, breadcrumbs, red onion, garlic, cumin, smoked paprika, salt, pepper, tomato paste, soy sauce, and olive oil to the mashed black beans. - Mix well until all ingredients are combined. - Divide the mixture into equal portions and shape them into burger patties.

Cook the Patties: - Heat a skillet or grill pan over medium heat. - Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until they develop a golden-brown crust. - Ensure the patties are cooked through and heated in the center.

Assemble the Burger: - Toast the burger buns in the skillet or oven until they are lightly browned. - Spread vegan mayonnaise on the bottom half of each bun, followed by mustard and ketchup. - Place a lettuce leaf on each bun, followed by a vegan patty. - Top the patty with tomato slices and pickles. - Add the top half of the bun, and your vegan burger is ready to be served.

Serve and Enjoy: - Serve the vegan burgers with your favorite side dishes or a fresh salad. - Feel free to customize your burger with additional toppings like vegan cheese, avocado, or sautéed mushrooms.
