Instructions
Creating Veggie Avocado Sliders is a straightforward process. Just follow these simple steps:
1. Prepare the Avocado: Cut the ripe avocado in half and remove the pit. Scoop the flesh into a bowl and mash it with a fork until smooth.
2. Mix the Ingredients: In the bowl with the mashed avocado, add the cooked quinoa, black beans, diced red bell pepper, cucumber, corn, and red onion.
3. Season: Add lime juice, cumin, salt, and pepper to the mixture. Stir until all ingredients are well combined.
4. Form Patties: Using your hands, shape the mixture into small patties suitable for sliders.
5. Cook the Patties: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Lightly oil the skillet if necessary. Cook the patties for about 5 minutes on each side until golden brown.
6. Assemble the Sliders: Slice the whole wheat slider buns in half. Place a patty on the bottom half of each bun. If desired, add jalapeños for extra spice.
7. Garnish: Top with fresh cilantro before placing the top half of the bun over the patty.
8. Serve: Optionally, serve with a side of your favorite dipping sauce or salsa.
