Instructions

Prepare the Mixture

In a large bowl, mash the black beans with a fork. Add the cooked quinoa, breadcrumbs, corn, onion, garlic, cumin, chili powder, salt, pepper, and egg. Mix until well combined.

Form the Patties

Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape them into patties.

Cook the Sliders

Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add a little oil. Cook the patties for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and heated through.

Assemble the Sliders

Place each patty on a slider bun and top with lettuce, tomato, avocado, and spicy mayo. Serve immediately.

Enjoy your delicious and spicy veggie sliders!

Pro Tips

Feel free to add your favorite spices or herbs to enhance the flavor of the sliders.

Tips for the Perfect Sliders

To achieve the best texture for your Spicy Veggie Sliders, ensure you do not over-mash the black beans. You want some chunks to provide a nice bite and contrast with the other ingredients. Additionally, let the mixture rest for a few minutes before shaping the patties; this allows the breadcrumbs to absorb moisture and helps the patties hold together better.

When cooking the sliders, make sure your skillet is adequately heated. This will help achieve a golden-brown crust while keeping the inside moist and flavorful. Don't overcrowd the pan; cook in batches if necessary to ensure even cooking.

Serving Suggestions

Serve your Spicy Veggie Sliders Delight with a side of sweet potato fries or a fresh garden salad for a complete meal. The sweetness of the fries complements the spicy sliders beautifully, while a salad adds a refreshing crunch.

For a fun twist, consider making mini sliders for a party platter. Smaller portions are perfect for guests to sample a variety of flavors and toppings. Pair them with a selection of dips and sauces for an interactive dining experience that everyone will love.
