Santa Fe Falafel image

This is a recipe that I got from February 2008 Redbook and just tried today. My really picky 11 year old just loved it and wanted more (he ate his without any onions or tomatoes though)! I made a couple of changes that suited my tastes, so here is my updated version.

1 (15 ounce) can pinto beans or 1 (15 ounce) can great northern beans
1/2 cup reduced-fat mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup crushed baked corn tortilla chips
3 minced scallions
1/4 cup finely chopped bell pepper
1/4 cup finely chopped cilantro

1 cup shredded lettuce
1/4 cup reduced-fat sour cream

These falafel are a great way to use up leftover chickpeas. I always have a few cans of chickpeas in my pantry and these falafel are a great way to use them up.

I didn't have any tahini sauce, so I served these falafel with hummus instead. They were still delicious!

These falafel were a bit too spicy for me. But I still enjoyed them.

These falafel were a bit too dry for my taste. I think I needed to add more liquid to the batter. But the flavors were still good.
