Quinoa Burgers!

These are for my cita! These are so yummy, and a fun way to eat up your quinoa. You can spice them up whatever way you like. you could eat the patty as is, or really make it into a tasty burger.

I just hugged the quinoa patty in a hawaiian mini bun and topped it with spicy ketchup and some green onions!
