Black Bean Quinoa Burgers

• 1/2 cup uncooked quinoa
• 1 cup water
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil, or as needed, divided
• 1 small red onion, chopped
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 1 cup frozen corn
• 1/3 teaspoon chili powder
• 1/8 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1/8 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper, or to taste (optional)
• salt and ground black pepper to taste
• 1 (15 ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained
• 2 eggs
• 1/3 cup dry bread crumbs

1. Combine water and quinoa in a pot. Bring to a boil; simmer until water is absorbed, 10 to 15 minutes.
2. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Add onion and garlic; cook and stir until onion is translucent and soft, about 5 minutes. Add corn, chili powder, cumin, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. Cook and stir until corn is defrosted, about 5 minutes.
3. Mash beans in a bowl using a fork. Add quinoa and corn mixture; mash until well combined. Add eggs; mix well. Stir in bread crumbs. Form mixture into 4 flat, round patties.
4. Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon oil in a skillet; cook patties until golden brown, about 4 minutes per side.
