Ingredients
1 (15 ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained 2 cups sweet potato, grated 1 cup cooked quinoa (1/2 cup uncooked) 1 tablespoon chipotle chill powder, or to taste 1 teaspoon cumin, toasted and ground salt and pepper to taste 2 cloves garlic, chopped 2 green onions, sliced 1 handful cilantro, chopped 2 eggs 1 cup bread crumbs creamy avocado sauce to taste (optional)
Mash half of the beans in a large bowl, mix in the rest of the beans, sweet potato, quinoa, cumin, chill powder, salt, pepper, garlic, green onions, cilantro, egg and bread crumbs.
Form the mixture into patties about 3/4 inch thick and place on a lightly oils baking sheet.
Bake in a preheated 400F oven until lightly golden brown on both sides, about 8-12 minutes per side.
Tip: To help get the cakes to hold together grab a handful of the mixture and squeeze it a little as you pass it back and forth between hands until you feel the mixture holding better. When it is ready form it into a ball and squeeze it between the palms of your hands, to flatten it, until the sides start to break apart too much. Hold the patty in the palm of one hand and cup the side of it with with your other hand pushing any loose bits back in rotating as you go until the sides are nice and smooth and holding together. If the patty is still too thick, squeeze it together more and repeat.
Tip: These quinoa cakes could easily be used as patties for burgers!
