Croquetas De Frijol

Recipe Ingredients

2 cups	320g / 11oz	Pinto beans - cooked
2 tablespoons	30ml	Onion - minced
1/2 teaspoon	2.5ml	Oregano
1		Green chiles - peeled, minced
4 tablespoons	60ml	Parmesan cheese - grated
		Salt to taste
1/4 lb	113g / 4oz	Monterrey Jack - cheddar, or asadero cheese
1		Egg - beaten with one tablespoon water
		Bread crumbs
		Oil for frying

Recipe Instructions

Combine the mashed beans, onion, oregano, chopped chiles, parmesan cheese and salt. Mix thoroughly and make into croquettes or patties, tucking a piece of cheese in the center, making sure the cheese is totally covered by the beans.

Dredge in the bread crumbs, dip in beaten egg, and repeat rolling in the crumbs.

Let them sit a few moments so the coating can set.

Meanwhile, heat a Dutch oven, heavy skillet, or deep fryer until oil is smoky hot. Fry patties or croquettes until golden brown. Drain on paper towels.

Makes 6-8 croquettes or patties.

Serve with fresh salsa.

I personally prefer patties because they cook more evenly and quicker.
