For an easy side, combine fresh corn, chopped avocado, red onion, cilantro, and fresh lime juice. If you can't find masa harina, substitute dry polenta or cornmeal. Ingredients:
2 poblano chiles |
cooking spray |
1 cup chopped onion |
2 garlic cloves, minced |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
1 (15.5-ounce) can pinto beans, rinsed and drained |
1 (15-ounce) can hominy, rinsed and drained |
3/4 cup masa harina, divided |
1 tablespoon canola oil |
3/4 cup (3 ounces) shredded monterey jack cheese with jalapeño peppers |
2 tablespoons reduced-fat sour cream |
2 tablespoons low-sodium salsa |
4 (1 1/2-ounce) whole wheat hamburger buns, toasted |
Directions:
1. Preheat broiler.
2. Place chiles on a foil-lined baking sheet; broil 3 inches from heat 8 minutes or until blackened and charred, turning after 6 minutes. Place in a heavy-duty plastic bag; seal. Let stand 15 minutes. Peel and discard skins. Cut each chile lengthwise into 4 strips; discard seeds.
3. Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Coat pan with cooking spray. Add onion and garlic; sauté 5 minutes. Place onion mixture, salt, beans, and hominy in a food processor; pulse until coarsely ground. Combine bean mixture and 1/2 cup masa in a medium bowl. Divide bean mixture into 4 equal portions, shaping each into a 1/2-inch-thick patty. Place remaining 1/4 cup masa in a shallow dish; dredge patties in masa.
4. Heat oil in skillet over medium heat. Add patties to pan; cook 4 minutes. Turn patties over. Top each patty with 3 tablespoons cheese; cook 4 minutes.
5. Combine sour cream and salsa in a small bowl. Spread 1 tablespoon sour cream mixture on top half of each bun. Place patties on bottom halves of buns; top each serving with 2 pepper strips. Cover with tops of buns.
