Black Bean Cakes

Need a quick dinner for the munchkin? Here's a good one that uses kitchen staples and will make the whole family happy.

Black Bean Cakes

1 can black beans (drained)
1 egg
1 handful grated cheddar cheese
2 handfuls bread crumbs (more if needed to form the patty)
1 tsp. cumin
1/4 cup frozen corn (defrosted)
Sour Cream (optional)
Avocado/Guacamole (optional)




Combine all ingredients except for the corn in a mini-food processor and pulse until blended. I like to keep a nice texture so try not to full puree the beans.
Once blended, stir in corn.

Heat a skillet with cooking spray (I use TJ's Olive Oil spray).
Form the patties whatever size you like and put cook for about 3 minutes on each side or until they are slightly brown on each side.

Top with sour cream and/or avocado.

Your kid and family will eat them up! Yum!
