Mash 1 cup black beans with a fork, not TOO mushy.
Mix with hands into 1/2 lb. ground turkey.
You can also add diced onion, garlic, hot sauce...
Then grill as burger patties on the Foreman grill.
Mmmm!!
Delicious, full of fiber AND lower in fat.0 -
Ok, this black bean salad is super easy and makes enough for a couple of days, all you need is:
black beans (canned or fresh, about 1 can worth)
garbanzo beans (canned or freshed, 1 can, you do not have to, but I like to take the shell off them by just rubbing them under cool water)
1 can kernel corn
feta cheese to taste (I usually add about half a pack, but you can add more or less)
4 celery stocks chopped fine
chopped red onions (about half a cup)
1 package grape tomatoes ( make sure to de-seed them or the salad will get soggy)
3 or 4 squirts or lime juice
1 tablespoon of olive oil (you can admit if you want)
cilantro to taste (I use the kind that you get from the tube at publix, just cause it mixes well)
mix all the ingredients in a bowl until you like the flavor (its not super exact) chill over night, then stir and serve! This makes about 4-6 servings.
I'm putting this on my 'to-make' list!! Thanks!0 -

I wind up making refried black beans:
i start off by simmering 2 cans of drained & rinsed black beans in maybe a cup of salsa over medium heat in a big frying pan....
then i add 2 or 3 canned chipotle peppers....
simmer the crap out of that, adding maybe a tablespoon or two of water-- if it looks like it could use more moisture
* by simmer the crap out of, I mean for just shy of 10 min so the beans soften up
then I let it sit & cool for another 10-15min
dump the whole mess in a food processor until it's at a texture I like
(take your pick)
throw that in a whole wheat tortilla & instant burritos!
(feels like junk food, but it's not SO bad!)0 -
I have a can of black beans in the cupboard. Please give me some yummy ideas!
Do they have seasoning in them already or are they plain with just water/salt? If they're plain you can make black bean brownies....NOM NOM
If they're seasoned, I warm them up and then add a little salsa and cumin. Serve over mexican brown rice.0 -

These are gluten free and lactose free.
They taste AMAZING and have such a creamy mousse texture. Excellent hot with low fat ice cream or vanilla frozen yogurt. no cake mix involved.0 -
It may sound odd, but black bean brownies are delicious and really popular! Just google it and you'll find tons of recipes! I made some the other day and my family have already eaten them all...they fool anyone, you'd never guess the 'secret ingredient' in place of wheat :laugh: They look like real cake, and taste like it too!0

I swapped out the brown rice for corn, used corn instead of flour tortillas, and went easy on the cheese to lighten it up a bit.0 -

MMM black bean and corn dip. I use this recipe on lettuce to make a salad, in lettuce cups, with crackers/pitas, etc. So good.
Black beans (rinsed), corn nibblets, chopped jalepeno's, chopped tomato, chopped red onion, chopped spinach, and bell peppers if you feel inclined. Mix them with greek yogurt, lime juice, chili powder, garlic and onion powder, paprika, cumin, salt and pepper. Toss together, let sit and marinade at least an hour. Goes great with chicken, pork, shrimp. On lettuce, in a wrap, whatever! Add avocado with individual servings if you want as well. Adds some creamy.0 -
These ALL sound awesome!0
