These Mexican sweet potato burgers are a recent discovery of mine. I love how the Mexican flavours incorporate with the starchiness of the sweet potatoes.
Pierce a large sweet potato several times with a fork. Either cook sweet potato in the oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 40 minutes or cook in the microwave for 7 minutes, flipping halfway through. Once the sweet potato is soft and cooled down, remove the skin. Use a fork to smash sweet potato.
Add all the other ingredients to the large sweet potato using the same bowl. Mix together.
Heat 1 teaspoon of oil in a medium-sized skillet over medium heat.
Using your hands, form a medium-sized ball with the mixture and then smash it between your hands to form a “burger” patty.
Cook the patties in the skillet for 4 to 5 minutes on each side. Serve immediately and top your burger with your favourite fixings.
