Ingredients

  • 1 cup uncooked quinoa

  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 12 slider buns, split

Steps

    Then add the cilantro, scallions, egg and egg yolk. Stir again to combine. Lastly, add the cubes of cheese. Give it one more stir.

    Using your hands, form meatball-sized balls and place them on a rimmed baking sheet.

    Serve on slider buns with sliced avocado and pesto sauce.
