Black Bean Burgers

I have had a few request for my Black Bean Burgers....so here goes.
Adjust recipe to your taste.  I like mine a little spicy!
I roast garlic and peppers in the oven and then divide them to use in several dishes throughout the week.

1/2 cup cooked Quinoa (pronounced Keenwaa).  Cooked rice can be substituted.
1 can black beans
Roasted green, red & yellow bell peppers ( I use about 1/4 cup)
1/2 cup sauteed shredded carrots, chopped
2 cloves roasted garlic
2 eggs
1 tbs chili powder
1 tbs gound cumin
1/2 bread crumbs

I use a hand potatoe masher to mash the black beans but they can also be put in the food processor.
In food processor pulse once or twice the roasted peppers, garlic.  Add mixture to black beans. 
Add eggs to mixture and mix well.
Add enough bread crumbs and Quinoa to make a firm textured patty.
Fry patties using a teaspoon coconut oil.

Spicy Quacamole topping
1 small avacodo
1/4 cup Garbonzo beans (canned or cooked)
juice of 1/2 lemon
1 1/2 tbs jarred jalapenoes with 1/2 tsp jalapeno juice
Process in food processor until desired smoothness

Soooo Good!
