Instructions

Black Bean Cutlets:

  1. In a pan, heat olive oil on medium heat and add in onions until slightly translucent and browned. Then, add in garlic and green chilies and saute for 2-3 minutes until everything is fragrant.

  2. Add in your black beans and sweet potatoes and mash everything together. Then, carefully fold in your corn, taco seasoning, roasted cumin powder, oregano, salt, red chili powder, lemon juice, soy sauce, cilantro and breadcrumbs until everything is mixed together. Take this off the heat and let it cool.
  3. Once cooled, divide the filling into 20 equal parts and shape into circles. Pan fry them in oil or ghee for about 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown on both sides. While your cutlets are pan frying, cut your tortillas into small circles that are a little bit bigger than the cutlets. Pan fry them alongside the cutlets for 1-2 minutes on both sides. Set these aside once done.

Assemble:

  1. To assemble, place some salad leaves on top of your tortilla, then your cutlet and garnish with chipotle sauce, sour cream, pickled onions, mint and red chili. You can serve it with guacamole and pico de gallo. Your Mexican Personal Boards are ready, enjoy!
