Quinoa Black Bean Recipes

An experiment with leftovers yields a delightful, filling vegetarian meal.

This is a great salad for a summer potluck or cookout. Proteins from the beans and quinoa also make this a bright summer lunch.

Black beans and quinoa provide plenty of protein- no fake meat needed! I really like these served with seasoned sweet potato fries.

This substantial salad offers a healthy balance of vegetables and protein. It provides a wide range of textures, colors, and seasonings.

These vegan patties will make you forget hamburgers forever.

This chili is delicious on its own... or serve it up with a dollop of plain Greek yogurt, sprinkled with green onions and a slice of hearty cornbread on the side!

A refreshing and colorful mix of veggies and grains with a light olive oil, lime, and cilantro dressing. Fabulous!

Quinoa, black beans, spinach, squash and zucchini

Yummy makes 6 1/2 cup servings Served over lettuce with a little sour cream and salsa very good. For a heartier meal have a full cup or more :)

You don't have to be vegetarian to enjoy veggie burgers! I think they are great, and making them homemade is even better! They are easy to freeze and have on hand for later, too. I adapted this recipe to a healthier version. I usually make them whenever I cook quinoa for a meal, and I just make a couple extra cups of quinoa for these. They are super easy to make!

Delicious vegan burger!

Came up with this based on my pantry and fridge items. Low fat, high fiber & protein!

Best no meat burger ever.

This meatless dish provides plenty of flavor (and protein, too!).

the perfect meal for meatless monday!

Quinoa, black beans, feta, and fresh veggies make this a well-balanced dish.

These are my home made Black Bean burgers. I use all organic ingredients in order to avoid GMOs. These have a kick because everyone in my family loves them spicy. And we enjoy them so much I make a huge batch at a time and then freeze them so we can eat them throughout the week for a quick meal. You can cut the recipe in half and cut down on spices if desired. This recipe is really forgiving as far as ingredients, so feel free to play around to see what works for you. (Also, feel free to substitute the chia seeds/water mixture with egg, if desired.)

delicious vegetarian "burger" alternative packed with nutrients. A go-to clean meal. Wonderful for batch cooking. Can be frozen.
