I've made these once before, but apparently I never posted it. Mike actually made them the first time (which may explain why I forgot to post about them), and here they are:
Obviously we enjoyed them, since I made them again. This time I took a lot more pictures:
I had some black beans leftover from the Beef and Black Bean Burritos, so instead of canned beans I used dried (rehydrated, of course). Once I mashed them I worried that I should have cooked the beans, but it turned out fine. They were a little harder to mash, though. I also just threw in some of my homemade salsa instead of messing with their salsa recipe. The corn is frozen and I also threw in some chives instead of scallions....close enough. 
You have to take the black bean mixture and make little mounds out of them, then roll in breadcrumbs. Don't mind my messy hands.
Mike used Italian breadcrumbs when he made them, and I used panko. Both were good, but I think I liked the panko a little better.
Plated up after a quick trip to the oven. I served them with fresh salsa on the side and some tortilla scoops, along with some steamed broccoli.
If you did them like this, they'd make great tapas!!These croquettes made for a satisfying, guilt-free meal. I plan on making these often to stretch our budget, because it doesn't feel like a "cheap" meal. And get this: even Sophie liked them!!
