Santa Fe Falafel image

This is a recipe that I got from February 2008 Redbook and just tried today. My really picky 11 year old just loved it and wanted more (he ate his without any onions or tomatoes though)! I made a couple of changes that suited my tastes, so here is my updated version.

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 (15 ounce) can pinto beans or 1 (15 ounce) can great northern beans
1/2 cup reduced-fat mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup crushed baked corn tortilla chips
3 minced scallions
1/4 cup finely chopped bell pepper
1/4 cup finely chopped cilantro
1 clove crushed garlic
1 1/2 teaspoons Tony Chachere's Seasoning
1 large egg white
8 slices red onions (thin slices)
8 slices plum tomatoes (thin slices)
1 cup shredded lettuce
1/4 cup reduced-fat sour cream

Steps:

  • Rinse and drain beans and mash with a fork or potato masher until a fine puree forms. Add cheese, finely crushed tortilla chips, minced scallions, finely chopped bell pepper, finely chopped cilantro, crushed garlic, seasoning, and egg white.

  • Mix sour cream, lime zest and lime juice and add a dollop to your falafel.
