Cumin is pretty great with black beans, but cilantro gave these burgers a whole new dimension that I wasn’t expecting! Perfect with a garlicky tahini sauce.

Author's Notes

If you have a small processor like me, it’s easiest to work in batches and half the ingredients to make sure everything’s broken down (especially the greens).
Cooking InstructionsHide images
step 1
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C).
step 2
Rinse and drain the Quinoa (3/4 cup). Add Water (1/2 cup) and quinoa to a pot over high heat. Bring to a boil, then cover and turn the heat down and simmer until water is absorbed, 10-15 minutes.
step 3
Add the Black Beans (1 can) (plus 1/2 cup more from a second can), Fresh Cilantro (1/2 cup), Fresh Spinach (2 cups), Garlic (2 cloves), Ground Coriander (1 tsp), Ground Cumin (as needed), and Onions (2 tsp) to a food processor. Blend until everything is incorporated.

step 4
Form the mixture into burgers about the size of those you’ll want for your buns. I made mine a bit generous, and got 8 burgers out of the total. If you made them smaller or bigger that number could change.

step 5
Place the burgers on a baking sheet covered with parchment paper and bake for 15 minutes on each side, or until the outsides begin to get a bit crispy and the burgers are firm.

step 6
While the burgers are cooking, mix together the Tahini (4 tsp), Water (3 Tbsp), Simply Organic Garlic Powder (sponsored) (as needed), and juice from Lemon (1) to make the dressing.
step 7
When the patties finish, serve with Buns (8) and top with dressing, Lettuce (to taste), Tomatoes (to taste), and Avocados (to taste). Enjoy!
