Ingredient List
- 1 can (16 oz) Old El Paso™ Traditional Refried Beans
- 1/2 cup whole kernel corn (fresh or frozen)
- 1 cup frozen cooked white rice
- 1/4 cup Progresso™ plain panko crispy bread crumbs
- 1/4 cup chopped red onion
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
- 1 tablespoon from 1 container (6.25 oz) Old El Paso™ Original Taco Seasoning Mix
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 12 Bibb lettuce leaves
- Sliced tomatoes and avocados, if desired
Preparation
- In medium bowl, mix beans, corn, rice, bread crumbs, onion, cilantro and taco seasoning mix. Shape mixture into 12 patties, using a heaping 1/4-cup scoop for each. Pat down gently so each patty is about 2 1/2 inches in diameter and 1/2 inch thick. Refrigerate at least 20 minutes (for easier handling, refrigerate up to 2 hours).
- Heat 10- to 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon of the vegetable oil; cook 6 patties in oil, 3 minutes on each side, until nice brown crust forms. Repeat with remaining oil and patties.
- Serve in lettuce leaves as wraps, with tomatoes and avocado.
