Add the cooked quinoa, red onion, garlic, breadcrumbs, cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper to the bowl. Mix well until all the ingredients are combined.

Divide the quinoa mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each into a burger patty.

Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the burger patties and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crisp.

While the burgers are cooking, prepare the Aji Mayo by combining the mayonnaise, aji amarillo paste, lime juice, and salt in a small bowl. Mix until smooth and well combined.

Once the burgers are cooked, remove them from the skillet and assemble your burgers. Spread a generous amount of the Aji Mayo on a toasted bun, place the quinoa burger patty on top, and add your favorite toppings such as lettuce, tomato, and avocado.
