Ingredients

• 2 cups Black beans (canned, drained and rinsed)
• 0.5 cups Breadcrumbs
• 0.25 cups Red onion (finely chopped)
• 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 0.5 teaspoons Paprika
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
• 1 whole Egg (lightly beaten)
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil (for frying)
• 1 cup Corn kernels (frozen or fresh, cooked)
• 0.5 cups Cherry tomatoes (diced)
• 2 tablespoons Cilantro (chopped)
• 1 tablespoons Lime juice (freshly squeezed)
• 1 whole Avocado (ripe)
• 0.25 cups Greek yogurt (plain)
• 0.5 teaspoons Lime zest

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, mash the black beans with a fork or a potato masher until mostly smooth, leaving some texture.

Step 2

Stir in the breadcrumbs, red onion, minced garlic, cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper until evenly combined.

Step 3

Add the beaten egg to the mixture and stir until the mixture holds together. If it's too wet, add a little more breadcrumbs.

Step 4

Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape them into patties about ½ inch thick.

Step 5

Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook the patties for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and heated through. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

Step 6

To make the corn relish, combine the corn kernels, diced cherry tomatoes, chopped cilantro, lime juice, and a pinch of salt in a bowl. Stir well and set aside.

Step 7

For the avocado cream, mash the avocado in a small bowl until smooth. Stir in the Greek yogurt, lime zest, and a pinch of salt until creamy and well combined.

Step 8

To serve, place the black bean patties on a plate, top with a generous spoonful of corn relish, and drizzle with the avocado cream. Garnish with additional cilantro if desired.
