Instructions
For avocado cream sauce, combine avocado, garlic, Greek yogurt, lime juice, cilantro, salt and pepper in the bowl of a food processor; set aside.
In another bowl, combine cooked quinoa, Parmesan, Panko, flour, garlic powder, lime juice, eggs, corn, beans, salt and pepper, to taste.
Divide the mixture into 8 balls; press each lightly to form ¼-inch-thick patties.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Add the patties to the skillet and cook until browned and cooked through, about 3-4 minutes per side.
Spread avocado cream sauce on top of patties while hot. Add lettuce and tomato.
Enjoy!
