    Add the cooked quinoa, oats, onion, garlic, cumin, paprika, salt, pepper, and cilantro, and mix well.
  • 4
    Shape the mixture into four equal-sized patties, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up.
  • 5
    In a large skillet over medium-high heat, heat the oil and cook the patties for about 4 minutes per side, or until golden and crisp.
