METHOD 
Preheat oven to 350ÂşF (180ÂşC).
Add cooked quinoa, cauliflower, cumin, chili, almond meal, nutritional yeast, chia egg, Himalayan salt and pepper to the food process. Process until mixture is combined well.
Line a baking tray with parchment paper, take 1/4 cup of patty mixture and form into 6-8 patties on the baking tray, aiming to keep them about the same size as your portobello buns.
Bake in the oven for 25-30 minutes or until cooked through and golden.
In a small bowl mix together olive oil, tamari and rice wine vinegar. Brush tops of portobello mushrooms with this and sprinkle with sesame seeds. Place on another lined baking tray and place in the oven for 8-10 minutes.
While your buns and patties are baking, put together all of the slaw ingredients (cabbage, carrot, apple cider vinegar, salt and coconut sugar) in a medium bowl and mix well.
In another small bowl, smash together avocado, lemon juice, salt and pepper.
Once patties are cooked, remove from oven and assemble your burgers!
