Tips:
- Choose ripe black beans: Look for beans that are firm and plump, avoiding any that are shriveled or discolored.
- Soak the beans overnight: This will help to soften them and reduce their cooking time. If you're short on time, you can also quick-soak the beans by boiling them for 1 minute, then letting them sit for 1 hour.
- Use a food processor to chop the vegetables: This will save you time and effort, and it will also help to ensure that the vegetables are evenly chopped.
- Don't overcook the croquettes: They should be cooked until they are golden brown and crispy on the outside, but still soft and creamy on the inside.
- Serve the croquettes with your favorite dipping sauce: Some popular options include guacamole, salsa, or sour cream.
