Instructions

If using flax egg, combine ground flax seeds with warm water and set aside. (Skip this step if using an egg.)
Place quinoa in a food processor along with ½ of the beans. Pulse until a paste forms. Add (flax) egg, cumin, paprika and sea salt and process for one minute. Transfer to a bowl. Stir in remaining beans, cheese, onion and cilantro.
Place cornmeal in a shallow dish.
Form quinoa mixture into patties and carefully coat with cornmeal. Transfer to a parchment lined plate and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
Heat oil to medium in a heavy skillet. Cook for 7 to 9 minutes per side, until firm and crispy.
