3. Heat pan to medium and add 1 Tbsp. avocado oil. Sauté the mushrooms until tender and browned.
4. Coarsely chop the tempeh into 1/2 inch pieces. Chop pitted date.
5. Add rice, mushrooms, tempeh, oats, grated beets, salt, pepper, red pepper flakes, nutritional yeast, garlic powder and onion powder to a large bowl food processor and process until the mixture resembles hamburger meat.
6. Divide and press into 8 patties.
7. Heat pan to medium and add 1 Tbsp. avocado oil. Sauté the patties until desired doneness is reached.
