Easy Black Bean Fritters image

This recipe is a black bean patty that can stand on its own - not a "burger" type recipe. I pan fry them, but I have a friend that is a die-hard deep fryer, and she prefers them that way.

Time 15m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 (16 ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained
1/2 cup vegetable oil, for pan frying
1/2 cup cornmeal
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 egg white
1/2-1 cup cheese (cheddar, colby jack, whatever you like... I use cheddar)
3 -4 tablespoons milk (more or less for moisture)
salt, pepper, sugar to taste
1/2 teaspoon cumin
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
1 garlic clove, finely chopped (or 1tsp garlic powder)
2 1/2 tablespoons taco seasoning

Steps:

  • Rinse and drain beans.
  • In a separate bowl, mix all dry ingredients. Stir in egg white, and add milk slowly until a sticky, spreadable paste forms. NOT runny, but not a solid blob.
  • Add beans, and mix well. I do not mash ALL of the beans. The texture of a few whole beans is nice. However, I do stir the mixture vigorously to break up and mash about 1/3 of the beans.
  • Add cheese and stir. If the mixture seems too dry, add milk.
  • Form into patties of the desired size, and pan fry for a couple of minutes on each side.
  • Serve with sour cream, cheese, salsa, guacamole, etc.
  • Yummy!
