Cowboy Bean Fritters

SERVES: 20

SERVING SIZE: (3 per serving)

COOK TIME: 20 Min

Who knew that egg whites, black beans and salsa would go together so well? Fry up a batch of our Cowboy Bean Fritters and round up the gang -- it's feeding time!

What You'll Need

1 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon cumin
2 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
4 egg whites, lightly beaten
1 cup salsa
2 (16-ounce) cans black beans, rinsed and drained
1 tablespoon canola or vegetable oil, plus extra if needed

What to Do

In a large bowl, combine flour, baking powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. Add egg whites and salsa; mix well, then stir in black beans.
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, heat 1 tablespoon oil. Pour 1 teaspoon batter per fritter into skillet, cooking several fritters at one time, but not overcrowding them. Cook 1 minute, then turn fritters and slightly flatten with a spatula; cook 1 to 2 additional minutes, or until browned on both sides. Repeat with remaining batter, adding more oil as needed.
Remove to a paper towel-lined platter; serve immediately.

Notes

Add some extra excitement when serving by putting out bowls of salsa and reduced-fat sour cream for dipping.

These were pretty good. I used egg beaters in mine. They turned out just like the picture too. Watch you don't eat too many after they are done cooking. ;)
