ingredients
- 15 ounces can black beans
- 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
- 1⁄3 cup chopped onion
- 1⁄3 cup diced poblano pepper
- 1 tablespoon chopped garlic
- 1⁄2 cup packed fresh cilantro leaves, washed and thoroughly dried
- 1⁄3 cup instant masa harina flour (needs to be the instant variety)
- 1 large egg, beaten
- 1 tablespoon minced fresh oregano

Chipotle Mayonnaise
- 1⁄3 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon canned chipotle pepper, minced
directions
- Make the chipotle mayonnaise by whisking together the mayonnaise and peppers until well-combined. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
- Rinse beans, drain well and dry between two layers of paper towels. Mash with a fork until crumbly but not smooth.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat, and sauté the onion, poblano pepper and garlic until vegetables are soft and beginning to brown. Remove from heat and let cool for a few minutes. Once cooled, place in a food processor with the cilantro and process until mixture is finely chopped.
- Add the vegetable-cilantro mixture to the black beans, then add the rest of the ingredients and mix until well-combined. Form into four patties. Heat remaining olive oil in a large skillet and fry the patties over medium heat until crisp and browned on each side.
- Serve with chipotle mayonnaise on the side. These also freeze well; wrap each patty separately after forming (do not fry) and stack in a freezer bag.

I'm just me, mother, grandmother...friend to many and a Louisianian. My Cajun and French Quarter Italian descent afforded me exposure to some of the best of foods. My passions are my family, decorating, cooking and gardening. Those very passions push me into constant awareness with always looking for something new to delight the senses, thus my favorite idiom...Inspire me, puuuullllllleeeeeeease! ...and I mean it, too. God Bless America!
