Cooking Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 200C / fan 180C / gas mark 6. Cut the potato into thick fries and place on a baking tray. Sprinkle over half the paprika, 1/2 tbsp oil and a pinch of sea salt and black pepper; mix to coat the wedges. Bake for 20-25 mins, until golden, turning halfway.
- Thinly slice half the onion. Finely dice the remaining onion. Heat a frying pan with 1 tsp oil on a medium heat. Add the sliced onion and a pinch of sea salt. Cook for 2-3 mins, until softened, then transfer to a bowl. Keep warm.
- Keep the frying pan on the heat, add the diced onion and cook for 2 mins. Drain the beans, rinse, then add to the pan with the chilli, cumin and remaining paprika. Cook for 3 mins, adding 4 tbsp water during the last minute, then transfer to a bowl. Add the cheez, season with sea salt and black pepper, and mash well. Stir in the flour, then rest the mix for a few mins, until cool enough to handle.
- Shape the mix into 2 burgers. Clean the frying pan and reheat with 1 tbsp oil on a medium heat. Cook the burgers for 3-4 mins on each side, until golden.
- Meanwhile, make the guacamole; halve the lime. Peel the avocado, destone, then spoon the flesh into a bowl and mash. Roughly chop the coriander and dice the tomatoes; add both to the bowl. Add the juice from the lime (to taste) and sea salt; mix.
- Serve the burgers topped with the fried onions, alongside the fries and guacamole.
