I have had gastric lap band surgery and cannot eat some meats so this was a wonderful way to get protein and iron into my diet. This will be a regular quick meal in our house. My daughter is a Vegan and I'm sure she'd love it too. Is there a way to e-mail recipes from here? Enjoy! Liz Winchester Va
We made this and it was delicious! Heeded the other comments and used only one can of beans. Added lots of veggies- jalapenos garlic onions tomatoes and corn. One little tip-- we used Shake'n'Bake "Hot & Spicy" crumbs instead of regular breadcrumbs and it was a very flavorful addition! Give this a try!:) -Ariel & Jon
This was delicious!!! I added in some onions as well and the overall flavor and consistency was fantastic. I baked them in the toaster oven and they came out just fine. The first few that I took off the baking tray lost their round croquette shape but once they sat a few minutes they were able to maintain their shape. HT Centreville VA
Not my favorite recipe. It was pretty dry. I did drizzle lime juice on them and they got a little more moist but they still weren't great. Maybe if I used fresh breadcrumbs rather than dry ones they would taste better.
Good Stuff! These are very good. I served it with Spanish rice but to be honest these are pretty filling and really need just a side salad to call it a meal. My husband enjoyed these and brought the rest to work with him the next day. Pros: Fairly easy to put together Cons: Soft texture but it's beans after all
The salsa was delicious!!! Very fresh and tasty. The croquettes were bland. I added more chile powder than called for but apparently not enough. DH and I put it all in a flour tortilla and it was edible but I won't be making again. (except the salsa!)
Surprisingly Good This is a delicious alternative if you just want a meat break. it is very healthy and the flavor was great. I didn't adjust anything other than the fact I didn't add the extra salt. WIth cayenne pepper and bread crumbs that was enough salt for me. Pros: healthy tasty easy to make Cons: nothing
This recipe was a hit! I will be making it frequently. It is easy quick to make and delicious. 5 stars for sure.
Put my own Spin on it I'm not a fan of spicy food so i omitted the chili power. Next time I'll also omit the cumin and add more corn and tomatoes for flavor. I only tried it with cumin this time because I was afraid it would be too bland without it but I think it would be better without it. I also added a cup of shredded cheddar cheese. (i know that alters the "healthiness" a bit...). I didn't have a problem with the amount of breadcrumbs it called for however making the balls does make a bit a of a mess but it is a pretty easy clean up. The salsa was a good side. I'll definitely make this again just with my own alterations. Pros: easy to make Cons: a bit of a mess
