Ingredients
- 1 can pinto beans
- 1 can black beans
- 1/2 large red onion roughly chopped
- 2 large tomatoes roughly diced
- 1 cup cooked brown rice
- 5-6 large chipotle adobo peppers from the can
- 1 1/2 tbsp chipotle sauce from the can
- 1/2 red bell pepper
- 1 large handful spinach chopped
- 1/2 tbsp minced garlic
- 1/2 tbsp smoked paprika
- 1/2 tbsp cumin seeds
- 4 small Serrano Peppers roughly chopped
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1/3 cup cilantro roughly chopped
- 1/3 cup green onion roughly chopped
Mix ins
- 2/3 cup Sweet corn
- 2/3 cup + 2 tbsp brown rice flour
- 2 flax eggs
Instructions
- Chop your vegetables, rinse your beans, and get the rest of the ingredients out.
- Prepare 2 flax eggs by mixing together 2 tbsp of flax seeds and 5 tbsp of water.
- To a food processor, add the beans, onion, rice, chipotle peppers, and bell pepper. Blend until well combined.
- Then add in the spinach, green onion, cilantro, and spices and blend again until everything is combined well.
- Transfer the mixture to a mixing bowl. Add in your 2 flax eggs, the corn kernels, and the brown rice flour. Mix until well combined.
- —The batter should not stick too much to your hands when you form the patties - if it does, add more flour as needed. Freeze for 15-20 minutes or refrigerate for 1-2 hrs. —
- Preheat the oven to 400 F and line 1-2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Spoon the mixture into your palm and toss the mixture back and forth between your hands until a round shape starts to form.
- Put it on the parchment paper and fix the edges so that it is round. I made 8-9 large patties, but you can make more or less for your needs :).
- Once all the patties are formed, lightly brush it with some oil.
- Put the patties in the oven to bake. Let them bake for 30 minutes, then carefully flip them and allow them to bake for another 10-15 minutes. **
- Enjoy!!
Notes
** I only tested this recipe with 8-9 large patties instead of more patties that were smaller. The baking times may be less for smaller patties, keep an eye on them. I’d recommend checking and flipping them after 15-25 minutes and then 5-10 minutes on the second Side.
