Combine mashed black beans with sautéed vegetables in a bowl; mix well.

Form mixture into patties and grill or pan-fry over medium heat until golden brown, about 4-5 minutes per side.

Top quinoa with grilled veggie patties, fresh spinach, and diced avocado.

Drizzle with lime juice and season with salt and pepper to taste.

Garnish with fresh cilantro before serving.
