Yes, the burgers can be frozen after cooking. If reheating from frozen, here are three different methods:
OVEN: 350 degrees for 15 minutes
MICROWAVE: 1.5 minutes
STOVETOP: 6-7 minutes, flip halfway through (you may need to add a bit of water to the pan and cover to heat them all the way through).
Can you make these burgers gluten-free?
Yes! Oats work well as a panko substitute.
Can you make these burgers vegan?
Yes, the flax egg worked well as a regular egg substitute.
Chipotle Quinoa Burgers – veggie burgers you’ll want to make again and again! Filling but not too dense, crispy but not crumbly, and with all the smokiness and yumminess with none of the meat.
1/2 cup uncooked quinoa
one 14-ounce can black beans, rinsed and drained
1–2 individual chipotle peppers (not the whole can)
1/2 teaspoon each: garlic powder, onion powder, chili powder, cumin
1 egg, beaten
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup panko breadcrumbs
Quinoa: Cook quinoa according to package directions. Allow to cool.
Mix: Place black beans, quinoa, chipotles, and spices, in a food processor. Pulse just a few times, enough to make the mixture sticky and well-mixed but not completely pureed. Ideally there will be some chunks of black beans still intact.
