Ingredients

  • 1 can (15 oz) black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 cup cooked quinoa
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1 small red bell pepper, finely chopped
  • 1 small yellow bell pepper, finely chopped
  • 1 small green bell pepper, finely chopped
  • 1 small blue corn tortilla, crushed (for color and crunch)
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 4 sesame seed burger buns
  • 1 cup shredded lettuce
  • 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or your favorite)
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons lime juice
  • 1 tablespoon chipotle sauce (optional for heat)

How to Make Rainbow Veggie Burger

  1. In a large bowl, mash the black beans with a fork until mostly smooth, leaving some chunks for texture.
  2. Add the cooked quinoa, breadcrumbs, chopped bell peppers, crushed blue corn tortilla, garlic powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
  3. Form the mixture into four equal patties, about 1 inch thick.
  4. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add a drizzle of olive oil. Cook the patties for about 5-6 minutes on each side or until they are golden brown and heated through.
  5. While the patties cook, prepare the creamy sauce by mixing mayonnaise, lime juice, and chipotle sauce in a small bowl. Adjust seasoning if needed.
  6. To assemble the burgers, place a patty on the bottom half of each sesame seed bun, top with shredded lettuce, cheese, and a generous drizzle of the creamy sauce. Cap with the top half of the bun.
  7. Serve immediately and enjoy your colorful creation!

Tips for the Best Results

  • Use fresh, vibrant vegetables for the best flavor and appearance.
  • Make sure your patties are well-formed to prevent them from falling apart while cooking.
  • For a spicier kick, add diced jalapeños to the veggie mixture.
  • Let the patties rest for a few minutes after cooking to firm up before serving.

Easy Variations

  • Swap out the black beans for chickpeas or lentils for a different flavor profile.
  • Experiment with different cheeses or omit it for a dairy-free version.
  • Add avocado slices for an extra creamy layer.
  • Try using whole wheat or gluten-free buns to suit dietary needs.

What to Serve With It

  • Sweet potato fries for a delicious side.
  • A fresh garden salad to complement the burger.
  • Grilled corn on the cob for a summertime feel.
  • A light coleslaw for crunch and tang.

Storage and Reheating

Store leftover patties in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place them in a skillet over medium heat for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until heated through. Alternatively, you can microwave them for about 1 minute, but they may lose some crispiness.
