Preparation
Step 1
Heat 1 tbsp oil in a large skillet set over medium-high heat. Add the bacon. Cook bacon for 5 minutes or until brown around the edges.
Stir in zucchini, corn, onion, cumin, chili powder, salt and pepper. Cook for 2 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Cool completely.
Toss the quinoa with the Cheddar, flour, egg and bacon mixture until well combined. Form into 8 patties. Chill for 30 minutes.
Heat the remaining oil in a large nonstick skillet set over medium heat. Cook the patties, in batches, for 4 minutes per side or until golden brown and heated through. Drain on a paper towel-lined tray.
Chef's Notes:
Serve with a creamy avocado sauce and lime wedges.
Quinoa triples in volume when cooked so use 2/3 cup to yield 2 cups cooked.
