Method

Patty Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Black Bean and Corn Patty

    In a large bowl, mash the black beans with a fork or potato masher until mostly smooth, leaving some chunks for texture. Add the corn kernels, bread crumbs, chopped onion, minced garlic, cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.

  2. 2

    Form the Patties

    Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each portion into a patty. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook each patty for about 4-5 minutes on each side until they are golden brown and heated through.

Fried Onion Straws Preparation

  1. 3

    Prepare the Onion Straws

    In a bowl, combine flour, salt, and black pepper. Dip the thinly sliced onion rings into the milk and then coat them in the flour mixture.

  2. 4

    Fry the Onion Straws

    In a deep frying pan, heat oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the coated onion slices in batches, frying until they are golden brown and crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels.

Spicy Avocado Aioli Preparation

  1. 5

    Make the Aioli

    In a blender or food processor, combine the ripe avocado, mayonnaise, lime juice, Sriracha, and salt. Blend until smooth and creamy. Adjust seasoning to taste.

Assembly

  1. 6

    Assemble the Vegetariat

    On a plate, layer a patty on a leaf of lettuce, top with a slice of green tomato, a generous amount of fried onion straws, and drizzle with spicy avocado aioli. Serve immediately.
