Ingredients:
For the burgers:
* 1 cup cooked black beans (canned or homemade)
* 1 cup cooked quinoa (or substitute brown rice or millet)
* 1 small onion, finely chopped
* 1 clove garlic, minced
* 1 green bell pepper, diced
* 1/2 red bell pepper, diced (optional)
* 1 ripe avocado, diced (optional)
* 1 tbsp olive oil or coconut oil
* Salt and pepper, to taste
* 1 tsp smoked paprika
* 1 tsp cumin powder
* 1/2 tsp ground coriander
* 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon

For the buns:
* 2 hamburger buns (gluten-free, if desired)
* 1/2 medium sweet potato, peeled and sliced into rounds
* 1 tbsp olive oil
* Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions:
For the burgers:
1. Preheat your grill or griddle pan over medium heat.
2. In a large bowl, combine the cooked black beans, cooked quinoa, onion, garlic, green bell pepper, red bell pepper, and salt and pepper to taste. Mix well.
3. Add the smoked paprika, cumin, coriander, cinnamon, and allspice, and mix until evenly combined. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
4. Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape each portion into a patty about 1/2 inch thick. You can also use a cookie scoop or ice cream scooper to help you achieve even sizes.
For the buns:
1. Meanwhile, place the sliced sweet potatoes onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Roast in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until tender and golden brown.
2. While the sweet potato buns are roasting, prepare the veggie patties. Grill or griddle the burgers for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until browned and crispy. Alternatively, you can cook them in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat for about 5-6 minutes per side.
Assembly:
1. Once the burgers are cooked, stack them up on freshly toasted buns.
2. Top with slices of avocado, tomato, lettuce, pickles, and any other favorite burger toppings.
3. Slather the bottom halves of the buns with mayonnaise or your favorite vegan spread.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
