Black beans are a great source of plant-based protein, fiber, and potassium. For a vegetarian mama like myself, beans and quinoa make up a large source of my daily protein. I love adding quinoa to meals because it's a superfood rich in protein, fiber, vitamins, and minerals. Complete with hidden spinach and bell peppers, this vegetarian burger is a great meal option for little kids and adults alike!
In a food processor, pulse together the bell pepper, onion, and garlic until finely chopped.
Into the food processor, add 1 can black beans, spinach, egg, cilantro, and parsley and pulse together.
Transfer mixture to a large mixing bowl. Add in the remaining 1 can of black beans, bread crumbs, and quinoa. Season with the salt, paprika, and pepper. Mix well.
Heat a nonstick skillet over medium-low heat. Divide the batter into 8 patties. Place on the skillet until golden and flip until cooked through. Repeat for remaining patties. Enjoy!
