    Step-By-Step Instructions:

    1. In a large nonstick pan heat olive oil and sauté onions, peppers, garlic, and spices. Sauté for 3 minutes, or until vegetables are tender.
    2. Add black beans with liquid and sauté with vegetables for 1 minute. Remove from heat. Add breadcrumbs, cornmeal, lime juice, and salt. Remove 1 cup of bean mixture and purée in a blender or food processor until a coarse purée is formed. Fold the purée back into the bean mixture. Add the cheddar cheese and cilantro, combine well. Mixture should resemble a coarse paste and be stiff enough to hold up in a scoop or spoon.
    3. With an ice cream scoop or spoon, form 3-4 ounce portions. Sprinkle a plate with cornmeal and place scooped black bean portions on plate. Lightly dust black bean mixture with cornmeal and press down gently, forming a patty.
    4. Preheat oven to 375°F. Spray a large nonstick pan with vegetable oil. Brown patty cakes for 2 minutes on each side. If pan is ovenproof, transfer to oven and bake for 15 minutes or until heated through. Or transfer patty cakes to a cookie sheet pan and bake.

    Black Bean and Mango Salsa Lettuce Wraps

    How to Make Black Bean and Mango Salsa Lettuce Wraps

    Use lower-carb butter lettuce as a substitute for a tortilla wrap. If you don’t like your food spicy, substitute the jalapeno for chopped green bell pepper.


    10 min prep time


    5 min cook time

    2 lettuce cups

    Print Recipe >

    Step-By-Step Instructions:

    1. Combine all ingredients in a medium sized bowl except lettuce. Refrigerate for at least one hour, or up to two days to marinate (the longer the better).
    2. If using butter lettuce leaves arrange them on a large plate and fill each one with 1/4 cup of salad mixture.
    3. Alternative Serving Suggestion: Use jicama instead of lettuce for the serving vessel. Peel the jicama and slice into 1/4-inch thick rounds, then slice the rounds into triangles (eighths) to resemble tortilla chips. Serve like chips and salsa using the raw jicama “chips” instead of tortilla chips.

    Beet and Arugula Salad with Feta

    How to Make Beet and Arugula Salad with Feta

    Never cooked with beets before? This quick and easy recipe is a great place to start. The roasted beets, arugula and feta make a delicious combination of flavors!


    10 min prep time


    2servings


    1 cup (packed)

    Print Recipe >

    Step-By-Step Instructions:

    1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.

    2. Put the beets in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet. Drizzle the beets with 1 Tsp. oil. Sprinkle the pepper over the beets.

    3. Roast for 20-25 minutes, or until tender when tested with a fork. Let cook on the baking sheet for 10 minutes.

    4. Meanwhile, in a large bowl, whisk together the remaining 2 Tsps.. oil, vinegar, and mustard. Add the arugula, swirling the leaves in the dressing (tongs work well for this). Add the cooled beets. Sprinkle with the feta. Toss to combine.

    5. Cook’s Tip: Most recipes advise roasting beets whole, then peeling them after cooking. To cut cooking time considerably, peel them raw (a vegetable peeler works well) and cut them into quarters or eighths before roasting. Beets can stain clothes, so you may want to wear an apron and a pair of disposable plastic gloves before handling the beets.
