Directions

1. Procedure: Sliders
2. In a large skillet, sauté onions in 2 tablespoons of the olive oil over medium heat until tender and slightly caramelized, about 20 minutes.
3. In a large bowl, use a large spoon or your hands to mash together beans, carrots, cornmeal, breadcrumbs, chili powder, salt, cilantro, ¼ cup water, and caramelized onions. If mixture is too dry to hold together, add more water 1 tablespoon at a time.
4. Using your hands, form mini burger patties that match the size of your buns or mini slider rolls.
5. In a large non-stick skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium/high heat and fry patties. Let each patty get browned and slightly crisp on each side before flipping (about 3 minutes on each side). Add more olive oil to skillet as you continue to fry more patties.
6. Spicy Mango Sauce
7. Combine all ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth.
8. Guacamole
9. In a large bowl, mash together the avocado and lime juice, then fold in the salsa fresca.
10. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
11. Assembly
12. Slice each roll or bun in half and layer a couple teaspoons of mango sauce, 1 black bean slider, and about a tablespoon of guacamole. If you have extra mango sauce, you can use it as a dip for your fries!
