Directions

• First get a stove top pan and add ¼ cup of water to it, (leave it off)
• Start pealing and chopping (if not using frozen bag) your sweet potatoes and placing them in the pan with the a TINY splash of water, once added turn on medium heat and cover the pan with a lid and let simmer until soft, 20-30 minutes depending on how small you chopped the sweet potatoes. (they should be mash-able with a fork or spoon like mashed potatoes)
• Prep the rest of your ingredients, chop your onion and place in a large bowl, add your black beans that have been drained and rinsed, add your corn, add your rice* see notes and peppers if choosing to!
• Once potatoes are cooked and soft turn off the heat, using a spoon smash them until they look like mashed potatoes, some lumps are ok but try to get rid of as many as possible.
• Add the smashed sweet potatoes to the other mixture of ingredients and mix everything together
• Add your olive oil if using, salt, pepper, chili powder and mix everything well!
• add flax egg here if you are choosing too.
• To cook, form large partys and place them on a skillet pan that has been sprayed with non-stick cooking spray and cook until browned on both sides (flipping when needed) mine took about 5-7 minutes on each side.
• To prepare the spread:
• Place all the ingredients into a food processor (I use a mini Nija food processor) the avocado, lime juice, salt, pepper, chili powder, olive oil and blend until creamy.
• Assemble:
• Apply some spread to one side of your bun, lettuce and tomato to the other, place a burger on the tomato and top with you top bun!
• I got 8 large partys from this recipe
