Steps

1. Cook quinoa in 150 ml of water according to package instructions, then let it cool.
2. In a large bowl, mash the black beans with a fork until slightly chunky.
3. Add the cooked quinoa, chopped red onion, minced garlic, cilantro, cumin, smoked paprika, chili powder, salt, pepper, and the beaten egg to the mashed beans. Mix well until combined.
