Ingredients:

Serving

1 (15 oz) can black beans, drained and rinsed
2 tbsp vegetable broth or 2 tbsp water
1 tbsp chorizo sausage, finely diced (optional)
1 tsp oil (omit if using sausage)
1/3 cup onion, small diced
1/4 cup red pepper, small diced
2 garlic cloves, finely minced
1/2 tsp jalapeno, finely diced
1/2 tsp cumin
1/4 tsp chili powder
1 egg white
1/4 cup cornmeal
2 tbsp cornmeal
1/2 tbsp lime juice
1 tbsp cilantro, chopped
1 1/2 tbsp plain nonfat yogurt
1 1/2 tbsp low-fat sour cream
1/2 cup salsa (chose mild, medium or hot according to your tastes)

Directions:

Place half the rinsed beans in a blender or food processor with the broth and puree into a paste. Add more liquid if needed. Mix together the bean paste with the reserved whole beans in a mixing bowl.
In a nonstick skillet, add the teaspoon of oil (or chorizo) onions, garlic, red pepper and jalapeno and cook for 3 or 4 minutes. Add the cumin and chili powder and continue to cook another minute. Remove from heat and let cool a bit.
Combine the sauteed vegetables with the beans. Add the egg white, cornmeal, lime juice, cilantro. Let stand for 5-8 minutes to begin softening the cornmeal and allow the flavors to combine.
Form the mix into eight equal sized cakes.
Spray a non-stick skillet over medium high heat with cooking spray. Add the bean cakes to the skillet and cook until browned, just a minute or so on each side.
Combine the salsa with the yogurt and sour cream.
Serve the bean cakes with a dollop of the dairy/salsa topping and garnish with additional cilantro if desired.
