Directions

  1. Combine water and quinoa in a pot. Bring to a boil, simmer until water is absorbed, 10 to 15 minutes.

  2. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Add onion and garlic, cook and stir until onion is translucent and soft, about 5 minutes. Add corn, chili powder, cumin, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. Cook and stir until corn is defrosted, about 5 minutes.

  3. Mash beans in a bowl using a fork. Add quinoa and corn mixture, mash until well combined. Add eggs, mix well. Stir in bread crumbs. Form mixture into 4 flat, round patties.

  4. Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon oil in a skillet, cook patties until golden brown, about 4 minutes per side.
