Time 53m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 13

½ cup uncooked quinoa
1 cup water
2 tablespoons vegetable oil, or as needed, divided
1 small red onion, chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
1 cup frozen corn
⅓ teaspoon chili powder
⅛ teaspoon ground cumin
⅛ teaspoon ground cayenne pepper, or to taste
salt and ground black pepper to taste
1 (15 ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained
2 eggs
⅓ cup dry bread crumbs

Steps:

  • Combine water and quinoa in a pot. Bring to a boil; simmer until water is absorbed, 10 to 15 minutes.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Add onion and garlic; cook and stir until onion is translucent and soft, about 5 minutes. Add corn, chili powder, cumin, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. Cook and stir until corn is defrosted, about 5 minutes.
  • Mash beans in a bowl using a fork. Add quinoa and corn mixture; mash until well combined. Add eggs; mix well. Stir in bread crumbs. Form mixture into 4 flat, round patties.
  • Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon oil in a skillet; cook patties until golden brown, about 4 minutes per side.
