* Calorie count is for PATTIES ONLY!
* Need to set aside at least TWO HOURS for freezing time.
* Swap hot sauce and cumin for other spices for a twist!
Directions
Drain and pat dry both cans of beans (extra moisture will make the patties difficult to stick together).
Mash the beans with a fork (or blend in a food processor) until a thick paste forms. Turn out into a large mixing bowl and set aside.
In a food processor, finely chop the following ingredients: scallions, carrot, bell peppers, and garlic.
Blend in the cilantro and eggs, directly into the food processor, until a sticky mixture forms.
Combine bean and vegetable mixture until thoroughly incorporated. Add spices.
With lightly oiled hands, form patties from about 1/2 cup mixture each (will make 8 patties) and set on wax paper. Freeze for at least TWO HOURS before cooking.
Best cooked on a skillet on medium heat, about 8 minutes per side.
Serve immediately on a bun or in a salad.
