Ultimate Vegetarian Burger

Preparing the Burger Patty In a large bowl, mash the black beans with a fork until a rough paste forms. Add cooked quinoa, breadcrumbs, red onion, garlic, cumin, paprika, salt, pepper, parsley, and egg. Mix until well combined.

Forming the Burger Patties Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each into a patty. Place them on a plate and refrigerate for 30 minutes to help them firm up.

Cooking the Burger Patties Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook the patties for 4-5 minutes per side until golden brown and heated through.

Preparing the Avocado Spread In a small bowl, mash the avocado with lime juice, salt, and pepper until smooth. Set aside.

Making the Sauce In another bowl, combine Greek yogurt, Dijon mustard, honey, dill, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix well to make the sauce.

Assembling the Vegetarian Burger Toast the burger buns lightly. Spread the avocado mixture on the bottom half of each bun. Top with a lettuce leaf, a burger patty, tomato slice, red onion, cheese (optional), and a dollop of sauce. Add the top bun and serve immediately.
