Ingredients

For 6 servings:

• 2 (15-ounce) cans black beans, drained and rinsed

• 1/2 cup finely chopped bell pepper (any color)
• 1 jalapeño pepper, seeded and finely chopped (optional)

• 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
• 1/8 teaspoon red pepper flakes
• 1 tablespoon olive oil (reduce or use cooking spray for a lower fat option)

Instructions

1. In a large bowl, mash some of the black beans with a fork to create a chunky texture. Add the quinoa, onion, bell pepper, jalapeño pepper (if using), chickpea flour, garlic, paprika, salt, pepper, cumin, chili powder, and red pepper flakes.
2. Mix until well combined. If the mixture is too dry, add 1 tablespoon of water.
