Contents of your meal kit:
slaw mix
cilantro vinaigrette base
cilantro
cherry tomatoes
jalapenos
corn
black beans
black bean patty seasoning
lime
Cookware needed: 2 mixing bowls, foil-lined baking sheet, shallow dish, medium or large nonstick skillet
Finishing steps:
- Preheat oven to broil. In a mixing bowl, toss slaw mix with cilantro vinaigrette base and a little salt & pepper. Roughly chop cilantro leaves and stems and add to the bowl with slaw mix. Set aside.
- Slice tomatoes in half. Roughly chop jalapenos. Place together on one side of a foil-lined baking sheet. Place corn on the other side of the sheet. Drizzle everything with olive oil, and season with salt & pepper.
- When broiler is hot, place baking sheet in the oven and broil 2-4 minutes until the corn is golden. Turn and continue broiling another 2-4 minutes or until tomatoes are charred.
- When corn is cool enough to handle use a sharp knife and carefully slice lengthwise between the kernels and cob, removing just the kernels. Add to bowl with the other slaw ingredients. Stir to combine.
- Rinse and drain beans. In a second mixing bowl, mash beans with the back of a fork or a potato masher to a coarse texture. Add patty seasoning, chickpea flour, salt & pepper and mix to combine.
- Form patties from black bean mixture, using about ¼ cup of the mix. (You want a relatively thick patty – about 2 patties per person.)
- Heat a small amount of oil in the bottom of a nonstick skillet over medium heat. When hot, add black bean patties. Cook in a single layer (working in batches if necessary) 2-4 minutes per side, or until crispy on the exterior and heated through.
- Serve black bean patties topped with charred-tomato salsa, and a squeeze of lime. Enjoy corn slaw on the side.
