34 round buttery crackers
2 cans (15 oz. each) chickpeas (garbanzo beans), rinsed
1 egg
1 onion, cut in half, divided
1 cup KRAFT Mexican Style Shredded Four Cheese with a TOUCH OF PHILADELPHIA
2 cans (8 oz. each) tomato sauce
1 cinnamon stick

Process crackers in food processor until fine crumbs form. Add chickpeas, egg and half the onion; process just until blended. Transfer to bowl. Add cheese; mix just until blended. Shape into 12 patties, using about 1/4 cup for each.
Heat large nonstick skillet sprayed with cooking spray on medium-high heat. Add 6 patties; cook 5 min. on each side or until crisp and golden brown on both sides. Remove from skillet; cover to keep warm. Repeat with remaining patties.
Meanwhile, slice remaining onion. Cook in medium skillet sprayed with cooking spray on medium-high heat 5 min. or until crisp-tender, stirring frequently. Stir in tomato sauce. Add cinnamon stick. Bring to boil; simmer on medium-low heat 5 min., stirring occasionally. Remove and discard cinnamon stick.
Serve patties topped with sauce and cilantro.
