Ingredients:

1 1/2 tbsp salad oil
1 small onion, finely chopped
1/4 cup red bell pepper (finely chopped)
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 medium fresh jalapeno chili seeded & fine, ly chopped
2 can pinto beans (15 oz each) drained &, rinsed
1/8 tsp liquid smoke
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
1/2 tsp ground cumin
1/4 tsp pepper
1/3 cup yellow cornmeal
1 cooking spray (optional)
1 cup tomato-based salsa homemade or pur, chased

Instructions:

In a 12- to 14-inch nonstick frying pan over medium heat, combine 1
1/2 teaspoons of the oil with the onion, bell pepper, garlic and
chili. Stir often until onion is limp but not browned, about 5
minutes. In a bowl, coarsely mash beans with a potato masher until
they stick together. Stir in onion mixture, liquid smoke, cilantro,
cumin, and pepper, mixing well. Spread cornmeal on a sheet of waxed
paper. When bean mixture is cool to touch, divide into 8 equal
portions, shaping each into a 1/2-inch thick cake. Coat cakes with
cornmeal. Return the frying pan to medium-high heat. Add remaining 1
tablespoon oil. When oil is hot, add cakes and brown lightly, 8 to 10
minutes; turn cakes over once. Coat pan with cooking oil spray if
cakes start to stick. Serve cakes with salsa to add to taste.

Servings: 4
