Black Bean Cakes with Guacamole

Seriously so good, and SO easy! I served with homemade sweet potato fries.

2 slices whole wheat bread, torn
3 tablespoons fresh cilantro leaves
2 cloves garlic
1 can black beans, rinsed and drained
I canned chipotle pepper in adobo sauce (found in mexican aisle in WINCO)
1-2 tsp adobo sauce
1 tsp ground cumin
1 beaten egg
guacamole
1 small tomato, chopped

Put torn bread in food processor and blend until it makes coarse crumbs. Transfer crumbs to large bowl.
In the food processor again, mix garlic, cilantro, beans, chipotle pepper, adobo sauce and cumin. Pulse until mixture is coarsely chopped and well blended. Add to bread crumbs and add egg. Mix well. Shape into 4-5 patties.
Grill in pan or on grill until heated through, turning halfway through grilling.
Serve with guac and tomatoes.
