Step 1
Prepare quinoa according to package directions. Cool to room temperature.
Step 2
In large bowl, mash black beans coarsely with potato masher, leaving some texture. Mix in quinoa, eggs, bread crumbs, walnuts, feta, green onions and steak spice until combined.
Step 3
Using greased 1-cup measuring cup, scoop mixture into 4 equal portions. Shape into 1-inch-thick patties.
Step 4
In large nonstick skillet set over medium heat, add oil. Cook burgers, in batches, for 3 to 4 mins per side or until golden brown and heated through.
Serve on toasted burger buns with your favorite toppings.
Cool quinoa quickly by spreading onto parchment paper-lined baking sheet; place in freezer for 5 mins.
Alternatively, brush both sides of patties with oil. Bake on parchment paper-lined baking sheet in 400°F oven for 5 to 7 mins per side.
Serve burgers with sriracha sauce if desired.
