2 tablespoons finely diced green onions
3/4 cup diced red bell peppers
1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro leaves, plus more for garnish
1 1/2 cups bread crumbs

Overall, I thought these cakes were just okay. I probably won't make them again.

These cakes were a bit too dry for my liking. I think I'll add some more liquid next time.

I found these cakes to be a bit bland. I think they could have used more seasoning.

These cakes were a bit too spicy for my taste, but they were still very good. I'll probably reduce the amount of chili powder next time.
