Ingredients
- 1 can (15 oz) black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 ripe avocado, mashed
- 1/2 cup cooked quinoa
- 1/4 cup diced onion
- 1/4 cup diced tomato
- 2 cloves garlic, minced

Instructions
In a large bowl, mash the black beans with a fork until mostly smooth.
Add the mashed avocado, quinoa, onion, tomato, garlic, cilantro, cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper to the bowl. Mix well to combine.
Gradually add oat flour to the mixture until it reaches a thick, moldable consistency.
Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape them into burger patties.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and cook the patties for 5-7 minutes on each side, until browned and heated through.
Toast the whole wheat burger buns in the skillet for 1-2 minutes.
Assemble the burgers by placing a patty on the bottom bun, adding lettuce, tomato slices, pickles, and the top bun.
Serve the vegan avocado burgers hot and enjoy!
