Number Of Ingredients 21

½ cup all-purpose flour
1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon white sugar
1 teaspoon ground cumin
¾ teaspoon baking soda
¼ teaspoon salt
⅔ cup yellow cornmeal
1 (15 ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained
1 (11 ounce) can Mexican-style corn, drained
1 cup milk
1 cup shredded Mexican cheese blend
½ cup chopped fresh cilantro
1 (4 ounce) can chopped green chile peppers
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
½ medium red bell pepper, finely chopped
3 stalks green onions, chopped
1 tablespoon cider vinegar
nonstick vegetable cooking spray
1 (7 ounce) can green salsa
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 tablespoon cider vinegar

Steps:

  • Prepare pancakes: sift flour, baking powder, sugar, cumin, baking soda, and salt together in a large bowl. Stir in cornmeal until combined.
  • Combine black beans, corn, milk, Mexican cheese, cilantro, chile peppers, eggs, bell pepper, green onions, and vinegar in another bowl. Add to cornmeal mixture; stir until combined. Let sit for 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, prepare salsa: combine green salsa, vinegar, and cumin in a small bowl. Place in the refrigerator while you make the pancakes.
  • Heat a griddle to medium heat and spray with nonstick spray. Spoon 1/4 to 1/3 cupfuls batter onto the griddle, placing about 2 inches apart. Cook until edges are firm and tiny holes appear on the surface, 3 to 4 minutes. Flip and cook until brown on the other side, 2 to 3 minutes more. Repeat with remaining batter.
  • Serve hot pancakes with salsa.
