Southwestern Black Bean Cakes with Guacamole


These spicy bean cakes are meatless finger foods that are filling enough to make a main dish.

SERVES: 4
PREP TIME: 20 Minutes
COOK TIME: 28 Minutes

Ingredients

2 slices whole-wheat bread, torn
3 tablespoons fresh cilantro
2 cloves garlic
1 (15-ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained
1 (7 oz.) can chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
1 teaspoon McCmormick Cumin, Ground
1 egg

Gucamole
1/2 medium avacado, seeded and peelede
1 tablespoon lime juice
1 small plum tomato
tortilla chips (optional)
orange wedges (optional)

Directions

	Step 1: Place torn bread in a food processor bowl or blender container. Cover and process or blend until bread resembles coarse crumbs. Transfer crumbs to a large bowl and set aside. Place cilantro and garlic in the food processor bowl or blender container; cover and process or blend until finely chopped. Add beans, 1 of the chipotle peppers, 1 to 2 teaspoons of the adobo sauce (reserve remaining peppers and sauce for another use), and cumin. Process or blend using on/off pulses until beans are coarsely chopped and mixture begins to pull away from sides. Add mixture to bread crumbs in bowl. Add egg; mix well and shape into four 1/2-inch-thick patties.

	Step 2: Grill patties on the lightly greased rack of an uncovered grill directly over medium heat for 8 to 10 minutes or until patties are heated through, turning once.

	: If desired, for burger baskets, place the bean cakes on a bed of purchased baked tortilla chips in a lined basket or bowl and garnish with orange wedges.
