Instructions
-
Position the oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the broiler. Lightly coat a baking sheet with olive oil.

Prepare the sauce: In a small bowl, combine sour cream, jalapeño pepper, lime juice, and salt. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
-
Prepare the cakes: Heat olive oil in a small pan over medium heat. Sauté green onions in the hot oil until softened, about 1 minute. Add jalapeño peppers, garlic, and cumin; cook for another 30 seconds until fragrant.
-
Transfer the green onion mixture to a large bowl. Add black beans and mash with a fork. Season with salt and pepper. Stir in the sweet potato, bread crumbs, and beaten egg until fully mixed. Shape the mixture into 8 balls, flatten them into patties, and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
-
Broil the patties for 8 to 10 minutes. Flip the patties and broil for an additional 3 minutes or until they are crispy. Serve with the prepared sauce.
