This is one of the Zaar recipes that I adopted. I hope to make this soon as it looks like a dish my family would enjoy. I’ll edit the recipe accordingly if needed.

1 egg
1 (16 ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained
2 cups diced cooked chicken

1/8 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
shredded cheddar cheese, for garnish (optional)

Directions:
1. To make corn cakes, in medium bowl combine corn muffin mix, water and egg until just blended.
2. Batter will be slightly lumpy.
3. Grease large nonstick griddle or skillet with nonstick cooking spray and place over medium heat to get pan hot.
4. Make corn cakes in batches using 1/4 cup batter for each one and cooking about 2 minutes on each sides, until golden brown (You should have 12 corncakes total).
5. In small saucepan stir together black beans, chicken, salsa and cumin.
