1

Bring the water and quinoa to a boil in a saucepan. Lower the heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until the quinoa is tender and the water is absorbed, about 15 to 20 minutes.
2

Roughly mash the black beans with a fork, leaving some whole, to make a paste-like mixture. Using your hands, mix the quinoa, bread crumbs, bell pepper, egg, onion, garlic, cumin, hot pepper sauce, and salt into the black beans. Shape into 5 patties.
3

Pour the olive oil into a large skillet and heat over medium.
4

Cook the patties until heated through and lightly browned, 2 to 3 minutes on each side.
