Cheesy Quinoa Burger

INGREDIENTS

For the burger:

• 2 cups red quinoa, cooked in vegetable broth

• 2 eggs

• ½ cup mashed sweet potato

• ½ cup canned black beans

• ¾ cup cheddar cheese, shredded

• 3 tbsp all-purpose flour

• ⅓ cup scallions, thinly sliced

For the rest:

• spicy mayo

• thinly sliced red onion

LET'S GET COOKING...

• In a bowl, combine all burger ingredients, except the mozzarella. Divide the mixture evenly, form patties, and then chill for at least 15 minutes.

• Heat olive oil on a skillet on medium heat. Add a few patties at a time, and cook for about 5 minutes on each side. Once golden brown and crispy, place on toasted buns.

• Top with hot sauce, mayo, arugula, and red onion.
