Black-bean Brown Rice Veggie Burger and Fries

My All time favorite Dinner cheat meal is black been veggie burgers. Like I could just eat a bowl of black beans but I digress. I love this alternative to a meat burger because I am not a fan of the consistency or taste of meat. I do not use measurements when I cook most of the time so huge thanks to The Simple Veganista for the structure of this recipe. I am so excited lets just jump in.

Ingredients:

1 Small Onion
- You will need to chop this up finely
1 1/2 cups cooked quinoa (packed) or brown rice
- To save time you can prep your rice or quinoa the night before when you cook your beans
Black Beans
- You can either use 2 cans (15oz). OR what I like to do the night before soak 1.75lbs of dry black beans then throw them in a slow cooker the next morning with some pepper and salt.
1/2 cup flax-seed meal or panko/bread crumbs
2 Medium Potatoes
4 Cloves of Garlic
Garlic Powder
Oregano
Cumin
Sea Salt
Black Pepper
Paprika
Lettuce
Tomatoes
Avocado
Red Onion
Mayo
- We love Chosen food avo-oil vegan mayonnaise .

Now Lets Get Cookin:

The night before prep your beans and rice
Saute your Onions in a pan. We like to use Avocado Oil by chosen foods.
- You will know they are ready when they are yellow and soft. Let cool before adding it to the food processor.
Combine slightly cooled onions, quinoa/rice, black beans, flaxseed meal/panko bread crumbs and spices/herbs. Pulse for 5 – 6 seconds at a time, until about half the mixture is combined.
- Don’t worry that the bottom is more mixed than the top you will need to transfer this mixture to a bowl and mix the rest by hand. Shape into burgers and putt on greased pan.
Fries. Cut potato into desired shape. Season with Sea-salt, pepper, and paprika. Throw in pan with garlic cloves and avo oil.
Bake. Put pans with fries and burgers in preheated oven at 350 for 12-15 mins. Once you take burgers out increase oven to 425 and cook potatoes for an additional 10-15 mins.
Add your toppings, sauces. and Enjoy!
