Description
These are yummy served on an English muffin or just by themselves!
|
Directions
In a 2-quart saucepan, bring the broth to a simmer; add the quinoa, cover, turn the heat to medium-low and cook until tender and all the liquid is absorbed, 10-15 minutes. Remove from the heat and let stand for 3-5 minutes. Uncover and fluff with a fork.
Heat 2 T.oil in an 8-inch skillet over medium heat. Add the poblanos, green onions and garlic and cook stirring until just softened, 2-3 minutes. Transfer to a food processor. Add the beans and quinoa and pulse until the beans are chopped and the mixture is combined.
Transfer the mixture to a large bowl and gently stir in the cilantro, panko, egg, chile powder, cumin and 1/2 tsp. salt. With wet hands, gently form 6, 1/2 inch thick patties. Refrigerate, uncovered until firm, at least 30 minutes and up to 4 hours.
Make the guacamole by mixing all ingredients together, mashing lightly and season to taste with salt and lime juice.
Cook the burgers by heating the remaining oil in a heavy-duty skillet over medium heat until shimmering. Cook half the burgers until well-browned on one side, about 2 minutes. Flip and brown the other side. Repeat with remaining burgers. Transfer to a serving plate and serve with guacamole and English muffins. Serves 6.
