- 1 (15 ounce) can of hearts of palm, drained, or 1/2 pound fresh hearts of palm
- 1/2 teaspoon vegetable oil
- 12 corn tortillas

Instructions
Step 1:
Combine lime juice, garlic, thyme, and olive oil in a small bowl and stir with a fork. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Carefully dry drained hearts of palm with paper towels, transfer them to a plate, and pour marinade on top of them. Rub with hands to coat every surface. Set aside.
Step 2:
Using a paper towel, rub grill pan with oil. Preheat over high heat until smoking. Add hearts of palm and cook, turning occasionally, until tender and deep grill marks have appeared on all sides, about 12 minutes total. Alternatively grill hearts of palm on a charcoal or gas grill over medium-high heat.Transfer to a plate and keep warm.
Step 3:
Add remaining chickpeas to food processor and pulse until roughly chopped, 4 to 6 pulses. Transfer to bowl with chickpea/herb mixture. When bulgur wheat has drained, add to bowl. Season with salt and pepper, then fold mixture together, starting with a rubber spatula, and finishing by hand when cool enough to handle. Form mixture into patties roughly 3/4-inch thicka dn 3 inches wide (you should be able to work 8 to 12 patties)
Step 4:
Slice the hearts of palm and serve with warm tortillas, salsa verde, onions, cilantro, Spicy Cabbage Slaw, avocado, and lime wedges. Serve Spicy Vegan Refried Beans on the side, if desired.
