These are so tasty and have a great texture. The salsa makes them taste really fresh and I love that they're baked instead of fried.

Tips:

Use a food processor to make quick work of chopping the vegetables. This will save you time and energy, and it will also help to ensure that the vegetables are evenly chopped.

Don't overcook the black beans. They should be cooked until they are tender, but not mushy. Otherwise, they will be difficult to form into croquettes.

Use a combination of breadcrumbs and flour to coat the croquettes. This will help them to stay crispy on the outside and moist on the inside.

Fry the croquettes in a large skillet over medium heat. This will help to prevent them from sticking to the pan and it will also help them to cook evenly.

Serve the croquettes with your favorite dipping sauce. Some popular choices include salsa, guacamole, and sour cream.

Conclusion:

Black bean croquettes are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or side dish. They are perfect for parties or potlucks, and they can also be served as a main course with a salad. These croquettes are healthy and filling, and they are sure to please everyone at your table. So next time you're looking for a new recipe to try, give these black bean croquettes a try.
