| 1. To make the bean patties: Place half of the beans in the bowl of a food processor with 1 coarsely chopped bell pepper, eggs, oregano, cumin and chipotle. Process until smooth. Finely chop the remaining bell pepper. In a large bowl, lightly mash the remaining beans. Stir in the bell pepper, onion and smooth bean mixture. Season to taste with salt and pepper. | 2. Stir in the cornmeal or breadcrumbs, a bit at time, mixing lightly just until the mixture firms up. (Pick up a bit and see if it can be easily molded into a ball. If it is too sticky, add a little more cornmeal.) Chill the mixture for 30 minutes. | 3. While the bean mixture is chilling, make the corn relish. Heat the canola oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add the corn to the pan and saute briefly until lightly browned, about 2-3 minutes. Stir in the garlic and jalapeno and cook just until fragrant, about 1 minute. Transfer the mixture to a bowl. Stir in the tomato, lime juice, and cilantro. Season with salt and pepper to taste. | 4. To make the avocado cream sauce: Combine all ingredients in the bowl of a food processor or blender. Process until completely smooth. | 5. Form the bean mixture into patties approximately 3½ inches in diameter. Heat about 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the patties in batches, cooking until lightly browned and firm, about 3-4 minutes per side. Serve the patties warm topped with the corn relish and drizzled with the avocado cream sauce. | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
