Ingredients

  • 2 cups dry black beans
  • 2 limes, juiced
  • 1 small onion, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tbsp taco seasoning
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 pinch pepper

  • 1 bunch cilantro, chopped
  • 1/3 cup flour
  • 2 eggs, whisked

Panko Breading

  • 6 cups Panko breadcrumbs
  • 2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp pepper

Dipping Sauce

  • 1 cup light sour cream
  • 1 tbsp Cholula hot sauce
  • 1 lemon, juiced

Frying Oil

  • 2 cups vegetable oil to fill bottom of pan 1/2 inch

Instructions

Prepare Black Beans

  • Place all the ingredients in the "Black Bean Filling for Instant Pot" list into Instant Pot. Pressure cook for 38 minutes with natural release.
  • The mixture should be moist, but not liquid. If there is standing liquid, sautee the mixture to evaporate the moisture until it is just moist.
  • Pulse 3/4 of the black bean mixture in food processor, or simply mash slightly with a potato masher.
  • Combine remaining black bean mixture with pulsed black bean mixture in a large bowl.
  • Add Mix-ins for black bean filling into black bean mixture and combine until fully incorporated.

Prepare Breading

  • Mix panko breadcrumbs with salt and pepper in a wide bowl for dipping.

Prepare Oil for Frying

  • Place enough oil into a deep pan to coat the pan about 1/2 inch deep.
  • Heat the oil on high until starting to bubble.

Bread and Fry

  • While oil is heating, use a tablespoon to create small balls of the black bean mixture and roll in the seasoned Panko until fully coated. Press breadcrumbs into the black beans.
  • Fry the balls 4 at a time so not to crowd the pan. Flip the balls after a minute, when breadcrumbs appear toasted dark brown and fry the other side. Remove to a paper towel lined dish.
  • Serve warm with dipping sauce and garnished with cilantro.

Prepare the Dipping Sauce

  • Combine the sour cream with Cholula hot sauce and lemon juice in a bowl.
  • Enjoy!!
