Ingredients
  

  • 2 medium sweet potatoes about 1 pound, peeled and cubed
  • 1 can 15 ounces black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 cup cooked quinoa
  • 1/2 cup breadcrumbs or gluten-free breadcrumbs
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped red onion
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 cup fresh lime juice about 2 limes
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro optional
  • Oil for frying such as olive oil or vegetable oil

Method
 

  1. In a large pot, bring water to a boil and add the cubed sweet potatoes. Cook for about 15 minutes or until tender. Drain and let cool slightly.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, mash the sweet potatoes with a fork or potato masher until smooth.
  3. Add the black beans to the bowl and mash them slightly, leaving some whole for texture.
  4. Stir in the cooked quinoa, breadcrumbs, red onion, garlic, cumin, chili powder, salt, black pepper, lime juice, and cilantro (if using). Mix until well combined.
  5. Form the mixture into patties, about 1/2 inch thick. You should get around 8 patties.
  6. Heat a skillet over medium heat and add a thin layer of oil. Once hot, add the patties in batches, cooking for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until golden brown.
  7. Remove the patties from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to absorb excess oil.
  8. Serve warm with additional lime wedges and your favorite dipping sauce or toppings.

Notes

  • For a spicier kick, add diced jalapeño or a pinch of cayenne pepper to the mixture.
  • These patties can be baked instead of fried. Preheat the oven to 400°F, place the patties on a lined baking sheet, and bake for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through.
