INGREDIENTS

FOR THE PATTIES:

• 1 can black beans, rinsed and drained
• 1/2 jalapeño, de-seeded, rough chopped
• 1/2 cup diced red onion
• 2 garlic cloves
• 1/3 cup gluten-free oats, pulsed into flour
• 1/2 teaspoon each of cumin, coriander, and oregano
• 1 1/2 teaspoons of salt (or to taste)

FOR THE SLAW:

• 3 cups thinly sliced green cabbage
• 1 cup shredded carrots
• 1/2 red pepper thinly sliced
• 1/2 red onion thinly sliced
• 2 ears corn, charred on grill

• 1/2 cup vegan mayonnaise
• 2-3 tablespoons chipotle adobo sauce
• 1/4 teaspoon cumin and chili powder
• Juice of 1/2 lime
• Salt and pepper to taste

PREPARATION

TO MAKE THE PATTIES:

1. Place jalapeño, red onion, and garlic in a small skillet with 1 tablespoon oil. Cook until the onion begins to turn translucent (about 5 minutes) just to take the edge off of the flavors.
2. Dump all ingredients into a food processor and pulse until mostly smooth. Having some whole beans is totally fine!
3. Place mixture into a bowl and let set in fridge for about 15 minutes (can prep slaw during this time)
4. After mixture has set, divide into 4 patties and place on a lightly greased skillet to sear each side.

TO MAKE THE SLAW:

1. Make the dressing: mix the mayo, chipotle adobo sauce, spices, lime, and salt and pepper in a bowl. You can add a tablespoon of water if you want to dilute. Mix well and set aside
2. In a large bowl, combine the cabbage, carrots, red pepper, onion, corn, pumpkin seeds, and cilantro.
3. Top with dressing and mix well! Adjust seasoning as needed.
