Preparation
Pulse 1.5 cups black beans in a food processor until partly mashed with some whole beans remaining.
Boil 1 large ear of corn on stovetop and remove kernels with a sharp knife once cooked. Optionally, roast the corn over a gas burner for better flavor.
Combine the mashed beans, corn kernels, 1 finely diced large red onion, 2 large handfuls roughly chopped baby spinach leaves, 0.5 cup chopped cilantro, 2 tablespoons tahini, 2 tablespoons coconut aminos or low-sodium tamari or soy sauce, juice of 1 lime, 2 teaspoons smoked paprika, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 2 teaspoons ground cumin, 1-2 teaspoons chili powder, and salt and pepper to taste in a large bowl.
Mix with hands or a spoon and gradually add oat flour until the mixture is sticky enough to form patties, using no more than 1 cup of oat flour.
Form the mixture into roughly 7 burgers, ensuring they are not too thick.
Optional: Brush the surface of the burgers with a little olive oil.
Bake on a lined baking sheet at 375°F for about 25 minutes, flipping halfway through. Alternatively, air fry at 400°F for 15-20 minutes.
Guacamole making
Mash 3 very ripe avocados.
Mix with juice of 1 lime, 2 finely grated garlic cloves, and salt to taste.
Add a sprinkle of red chili flakes.
