Using a potato masher or fork, mash the black beans slightly to help bind the mixture together.

Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.

Form the cassava and black bean mixture into small patties, pressing them firmly to hold their shape.

Once cooked, remove the cassava and black bean cakes from the skillet and drain them on a paper towel to remove any excess oil.
