Notes

To save time, cook the sweet potato and quinoa ahead of time.
Use a large lettuce as a veggie wrap and top burger with all your favorite toppings such as onion slice, Dijon mustard, tomato slice, or tomato salsa.
You can store any leftover burger in a tight-lid container in the refrigerator or freezer.
