Ingredients
Chipotle Sour Cream:
Black Beans:
- 2 cups dried black beans
- 1 onion, chopped
- 5 garlic cloves
Sauteed Vegetables:
- 1 green bell pepper, diced
- 1 red bell pepper, diced
- 1 red onion, diced
- 6 to 8 garlic cloves, chopped
- 1 1/2 tablespoons vegetable oil
Black Bean Patties:
- 1/4 cup flour
- 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin
- Salt and pepper
- 1 tablespoon adobo
- Olive oil
- 1/4 cup julienned red onion
- Handful fresh spinach leaves
- 1/4 cup diced tomatoes
- Squeeze lime juice
Directions
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
For the sour cream: Mix all the ingredients together and set aside.
For the black beans: Combine the black beans with the onion and garlic cloves. Cover with water and bring to a boil, and then simmer, covered. The beans are ready when they are tender, about 1 1/2 hours. Drain and set aside to cool down. Drain.
For the vegetables: Saute all ingredients in a medium saute pan in the oil over medium-high and set aside to cool down.
For the patties: Take about 3/4 cup black beans after they have cooled and put into food processor and pulse until the beans break apart but don't form a big ball of mush.
Add the beans to the sauteed vegetables and mix in the flour, cumin, salt and pepper, and adobo and form into 6 to 8 patties.
Add enough oil to coat a medium saute pan and place over medium-high heat. Add 2 to 3 patties and cook for about 1 minute, and then turn and sear the other sides for 1 more minute. The patties should have a golden brown crust. Place into the oven for about 4 minutes.
While the patties are in the oven, add enough oil to coat a medium saute pan and place over medium-high heat. Add the red onion and cook for 1 minute. Add the spinach, season with salt and pepper, and wilt. Add the diced tomatoes and toss to warm through.
Set the spinach in the center of a plate and place 2 to 3 bean cakes on top. Squeeze a little lime juice on top and top off with chipotle sour cream

Excellent flavor! Unfortunately, the cakes were too wet and ended up mushy. I recommend cooking the sauteed veggies until any juices are evaporated. I will try that next time. Also, instead of the chipotle sour cream, I mixed the sour cream with some homemade hot hot sauce (jalapeno/poblano/ginger/cilantro. The flavors were amazing together.
Otherwise, delicious! Very healthy and satisfying.

Tonight was my first time at 10th Ave Burrito in Belmar.
These Black Bean Cakes are so tasty, so light, cooked to perfection! I'll be going back for more. Searched for the recipe as soon as I got home...my search is over. Can't wait to make them at home.
