Steps:
- Mash the avocado in a small bowl. Stir in lime juice; season to taste with pepper and cumin. Cover and chill until ready to serve.
- Place torn bread in a food processor. Cover and process until bread turns into coarse crumbs. Transfer to a large bowl; set aside.
- Place cilantro and garlic in the food processor. Cover and process until finely chopped. Add the beans, chipotle pepper and adobo sauce, and cumin. Cover and process until beans are coarsely chopped and mixture begins to pull away from the side of the bowl or container.
- Add mixture to bread crumbs. Add egg, combine, and shape into four 1/2 inch thick patties.
- Lightly grease the rack of a grill pan. Place patties on the rack. Cook over medium-high heat for 8 to 10 minutes, or until patties are heated through, turning once.
- To serve, top patties with guacamole and tomato.
Tips:
- For the black bean cakes, be sure to drain and rinse the black beans well before mashing them. This will help to prevent the cakes from becoming too mushy.
- If you don't have a food processor, you can mash the black beans by hand using a potato masher or a fork. Just be sure to mash them until they are very smooth.
- When forming the black bean cakes, be sure to pack the mixture firmly into the patties. This will help to keep them from falling apart when you cook them.
- To make the guacamole, be sure to use ripe avocados. This will give the guacamole a smooth and creamy texture.
- If you don't have a lime on hand, you can use lemon juice instead. Just be sure to use a little less, as lemon juice is more acidic than lime juice.
Conclusion:
These healthy and spicy black bean cakes with guacamole are a delicious and satisfying meal. They're perfect for a light lunch or dinner, and they're also great for packing in a lunch box. The black bean cakes are packed with protein and fiber, and the guacamole is a good source of healthy fats. Together, they make a meal that is both nutritious and delicious.
