Preparation

1. Plate Side: Griddle
   Griddler® Cooking Position: Open and flat.
2. 1. Put the oil in a medium sauté pan set
   over medium heat. Once hot, add the garlic,
   onion and ¼ teaspoon of salt and pepper.
   Sauté until softened and fragrant, about 5
   minutes. Add the black beans, chipotle
   and sauce, and enough water to keep
   the pan from being dry. Cook until beans
   are soft enough where they can be easily
   mashed, about 10 minutes, adding
   additional water as needed to prevent the
   pan from going dry.
   2. Once beans are soft, add the remaining salt,
   quinoa, carrot and zucchini. Add additional
   water, about 2 to 3 tablespoons, stir, partially
   cover and reduce heat to medium-low
   and cook until vegetables are just slightly
   cooked, about 5 minutes.
   3. Transfer mixture to a Cuisinart® Food
   Processor fitted with the chopping blade.
   Add the cilantro and pulse 4 to 5 times to
   slightly mash the mixture.
   4. Turn on the Cuisinart® Griddler®. Select Grill/
   Griddle and set to 375ºF.
   5. While Griddler® is heating, form burger
   mixture into 1/ 3-cup patties (the mixture may
   be too warm to handle. If that is the case,
   then allow to rest until slightly cooled).
   6. Once preheated, brush the plates with
   additional oil and put the prepared patties
   onto the hot, oiled griddle. Select the countup
   timer and cook 3 minutes per side. Brush
   the tops with additional oil and allow to
   cook until bottoms are golden brown and
   the burger is just getting firm, about 3 to 4
   minutes. Carefully flip and cook on the other
   side for another 3 to 4 minutes.
   7. To serve, put on a bun and top with sliced
   avocado. Serve immediately.
