Cooking the dish according to the recipe:
- Making the sandwich:
For vegetarian cutlets: In a small saucepan, bring a cup of water to a boil. Add the quinoa, cover, and reduce heat to low. Simmer until the water is absorbed, 15-20 minutes. Transfer the quinoa to a baking sheet and spread it out evenly. Let cool completely.
In a food processor, puree half a can of beans. In a large bowl, combine 1/4 cup cooked chia (save the rest for another time), the bean puree, the remaining beans, corn, panko breadcrumbs, cilantro, salt, chili powder, cumin, garlic, pepper, and lemon juice. Process until smooth. Form into 8 small patties, about 2 inches each. Refrigerate the patties for 15 minutes to firm up.
Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Fry the patties until golden brown, 5-8 minutes per side.
To assemble sandwiches: Place 2 patties in each pita, top with a portion of cucumber-yogurt sauce, some lettuce leaves and beef tomato.
Making cucumber-yogurt sauce:
In a small bowl, combine cucumbers, yogurt, lemon juice, sesame paste, sugar, and garlic. Season with hot sauce, salt, and pepper.
