Tuna and Black Bean Patties/cakes

These are sot of like salmon patties, but much cheaper and the black beans give it a really good flavor.  I made a huge family-sized batch tonight, but you can easily cut this down to the size of 1 can of tuna.

Ingredients: 

4 5oz Cans Tuna
4 eggs
2 TB garlic powder (I would probably double this if I weren't using Roasted Garlic bread crumbs)
1 TB cumin
1 cup bread crumbs (I used Kroger Brand Roasted Garlic)
2 15oz cans of black beans



Mix together and form into patties.  Should make about 16 small ones or 8 larger ones.  I ended up with 18 tonight.  

I haven't cooked them yet, but you would then just fry them up in a pan over medium heat.  I like to leave them in the fridge for a bit after they're formed bc it makes them easier to do handle when cooking.  You could also add onions or even green onions.  I was going to dice an onion but I forgot until I was done mixing and didn't want to have to mix again bc I was feeling lazy.
