• 12-15 mini buns/rolls for sliders or 6-8 regular sized hamburger buns
• 1/4 cup olive oil
• 1 yellow onion, small dice
• 1 14-ounce can black beans, drained and rinsed
• 1 small carrot, finely diced or shredded (about ½ cup)
• ½ cup cornmeal
• ½ cup breadcrumbs
• 1 tablespoon chili powder
• 1 teaspoon sea salt
• ¼ bunch cilantro, chopped
• ¼ cup water

1. In a large skillet, sauté onions in 2 tablespoons of the olive oil over medium heat until tender and slightly caramelized, about 20 minutes.
2. In a large bowl, use a large spoon or your hands to mash together beans, carrots, cornmeal, breadcrumbs, chili powder, salt, cilantro, ¼ cup water, and caramelized onions. If mixture is too dry to hold together, add more water 1 tablespoon at a time.
3. Using your hands, form mini burger patties that match the size of your buns or mini slider rolls.
4. In a large non-stick skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium/high heat and fry patties. Let each patty get browned and slightly crisp on each side before flipping (about 3 minutes on each side). Add more olive oil to skillet as you continue to fry more patties.
5. Slice each roll or bun in half and layer a couple teaspoons of mango sauce, 1 black bean slider, and about a tablespoon of guacamole. If you have extra mango sauce, you can use it as a dip for your fries!

• 1 mango, peeled and cut
• ½ cup sun dried tomatoes, whole or sliced
• 1 garlic clove
• 1 tablespoon vinegar (I used apple cider vinegar, but any kind will do)
• 1/8 teaspoon sea salt

1. Combine all ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth.

• 3 ripe Haas avocados, halved, pitted, and peeled
• ½ lime, juiced
• ¼ cup salsa fresca
• sea salt and black pepper

1. In a large bowl, mash together the avocado and lime juice, then fold in the salsa fresca.
2. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Serves about 3 people

• 1 large yam, peeled and cut into ¼ thick fries
• 2 tablespoons olive or canola oil
• 1 teaspoon sea salt
• 2 teaspoons Cajun seasoning

Procedure:

1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
2. Toss yam sticks with oil, salt, and Cajun seasoning. Spread out evenly on a half sheet tray. If multiplying the recipe, use a separate sheet tray for each yam.
3. Bake for 15 minutes then flip fries with a spatula. Rotate pan and bake for another 10-15 minutes until nicely browned and crisp looking.
