Ingredients
Method
Preheat oven to 375°F. In food processor, pulse beans, eggs and chili powder until mixture is chunky, about 20 seconds. Transfer to bowl. Add 3/4 cup of the breadcrumbs; season with salt and pepper. Mix until sticky dough forms and mixture holds together. Using your hands, form twelve 1/2-inch thick croquettes. Place remaining breadcrumbs on deep plate; season with salt and pepper. Dip each croquette in breadcrumbs, pressing lightly to adhere.
In large nonstick skillet, heat 2 tbsp of the oil over medium heat. Add half of the croquettes to skillet and cook, turning halfway through cooking time, until beginning to brown, 2 to 4 minutes.
Transfer to baking sheet. Repeat with remaining croquettes. Transfer baking sheet to oven and bake until croquettes are hot, 6 to 8 minutes. Sprinkle with cilantro, if using. Serve with salsa, and salad, if desired.
MAKES 12 CROQUETTES
TEST KITCHEN TIP
Be sure to pat beans very dry in order to achieve a mixture that holds together properly.
