01
Step 1
Start by bringing the rice and water to a boil in a saucepan. Once it’s boiling, lower the heat to medium-low, cover the pot, and let it simmer until the rice is tender and all the water is absorbed, about 20 to 25 minutes. When the rice is ready, stir in the corn while it’s still hot.

Step 2
Next, heat a tablespoon of oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the black beans, chickpeas, and garlic, and cook everything together for 3 to 5 minutes until it’s warmed through.

Step 3
In a large bowl, combine the rice and bean mixtures. Stir in the Cheddar cheese, 1/3 cup of flour, and a pinch of red pepper flakes until you get a thick, scoopable mixture. Shape this into patties.

Step 4
In a small bowl, mix about 1/4 cup of flour with Cajun seasoning and another pinch of red pepper flakes. Dip each patty into this flour mixture, coating both sides.

Step 5
Finally, heat another tablespoon of oil in your skillet over medium heat. Fry the patties for about 5 minutes on each side, or until they’re nicely golden brown and crispy. Enjoy!
