Black Bean Cakes

1 can black beans, rinsed and drained

1 egg, beaten

1 cup shredded zucchini

1/2 cup bread crumbs

1/4 cup shredded cheese

2 tablespoons chili powder

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon baking powder

1/4 teaspoon cumin

2 tablespoons olive oil

                       

In a mixing bowl, mash beans. Add the egg, zucchini, bread crumbs, cheese, chili powder, salt, baking powder and cumin and mix well.

                       

Shape into six patties; brush both sides with oil. Place on a baking sheet.

                       

Broil on low about 4 inches from the heat for 3-4 minutes on each side. Use a thermometer to determine if they are warm throughout (it should read 200 degrees).

Serve with fresh salsa, sour cream, and guacamole.
