Tips:

  • Choose the right beans. For the best flavor and texture, use dried black beans that have been soaked overnight. If you're short on time, you can use canned black beans, but be sure to rinse and drain them well before using.
  • Mash the beans well. The smoother the bean mixture, the better the croquettes will hold together. You can use a food processor or a potato masher to achieve a smooth consistency.
  • Add plenty of flavor. The croquettes are seasoned with a variety of spices, including cumin, chili powder, and garlic. Feel free to adjust the seasonings to your own taste.
  • Don't overcook the croquettes. The croquettes should be cooked until they are golden brown and crispy on the outside, but still soft and creamy on the inside. Overcooking will make them dry and crumbly.
  • Serve with your favorite salsa. The croquettes are delicious served with a fresh salsa, such as the one included in this recipe. You can also serve them with guacamole, sour cream, or your favorite dipping sauce.

Conclusion:

These black bean croquettes are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or snack. They're perfect for parties and potlucks, and they're also a great way to use up leftover black beans. So next time you're looking for a tasty and satisfying treat, give these black bean croquettes a try.
