Gluten-Free Southwest-Style Sweet Potato Burgers

Original recipe from Chocolate-Covered Katie.

My version:

Gluten-Free Southwest-Style Sweet Potato Burgers

• ~8 small sweet potatoes
• 1 cup drained and rinsed black beans
• 1/2 cup drained and rinsed canned corn
• 1 tbsp tapioca starch
• 5 small cloves purple garlic crushed
• cumin, cayenne, oregano, and salt to taste
• 1/3 cup cooked wild rice
• oil for frying

Preheat oven to 400F. Bake sweet potatoes about 1 hour, or until sticky and sweet. Cut sweet potatoes in half and let cool.

Scoop out the sweet potato flesh into a large bowl. Add black beans, corn, tapioca starch, crushed garlic, spices, rice, and mix.

Put mixture in fridge 15-20 minutes to firm it up. Form into patties. If it's still too soft to form into patties, add extra starch.

Heat oil over high heat in a frying pan. Add patties and cook 2-3 minutes on each side, or until browned.

Serve with warmed corn tortillas, avocado, and salsa.
