Crispy Black Bean Patties

Add just ¼ tsp garlic, just ½ tsp lime zest, just 2 tsp lime juice, mayo, and a pinch of salt to a small bowl and mix the lime aioli.

Add black beans, remaining garlic, just ¼ cup onion, garbanzo bean flour, zhoug seasoning, and ½ tsp salt to a large bowl. Mix with your hands, crushing the beans, until the dough is sticky and uniform. Form dough into 6 patties, each about 2 inches wide. TIPS: Keep remaining onions for your own use. You can use a food processor for this step if you prefer.

Heat 2 tbsp vegetable oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add black bean patties and cook until crisp and heated through, 3 to 5 minutes per side. TIP: Add more oil as necessary to crisp the patties.

Add baby spinach, remaining lime juice, 2 tsp olive oil, and a pinch of salt and pepper to a large bowl, and toss. Divide spinach salad between bowls and top with black bean patties, cucumber, tomatoes, and avocado. Drizzle with lime aioli. Enjoy!
