Ingredients

1 tablespoon olive oil, or as needed

Lime Sour Cream Sauce:

½ cup reduced fat sour cream
1 small fresh jalapeno pepper, minced
2 teaspoons fresh lime juice
salt to taste

Bean Cakes:

1 tablespoon olive oil
4 green onions, thinly sliced
2 fresh jalapeno peppers, finely diced
6 cloves garlic, pressed
1 tablespoon ground cumin
2 (14.5 ounce) cans black beans, drained and rinsed
salt and black pepper to taste
2 cups grated raw sweet potato
½ cup plain dried bread crumbs
1 large egg, lightly beaten

Directions

Set oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler. Lightly grease a baking sheet with olive oil.
Make sauce: Mix together sour cream, jalapeño pepper, lime juice, and salt in a small bowl. Cover and refrigerate.
Make cakes: Heat olive oil in a small skillet over medium heat. Cook and stir green onions in hot oil until softened, about 1 minute. Stir in jalapeño peppers, garlic, and cumin; cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
Transfer green onion mixture to a large bowl. Stir in black beans; mash with a fork. Season with salt and pepper. Mix in sweet potato, bread crumbs, and beaten egg until well combined. Divide mixture into 8 balls, flatten into patties, and place on the prepared baking sheet.
Cook under the preheated broiler for 8 to 10 minutes. Turn patties over and continue broiling until crispy, about 3 minutes more. Serve with sauce.
