1 egg white (or substitute) -- slightly beaten

1 teaspoon ground cumin

1 teaspoon garlic -- minced

Combine all mango salsa ingredients (first 7 ingredients) in a bowl

For the black bean cakes, place beans in a large bowl and coarsely

mash until they stick together. Add cilantro, onion, egg white, cumin,

Divide bean mixture into 8 equal parts. Shape into 1/2 " thick

nonstick cooking spray.

Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add bean cakes and fry

until golden brown on both sides, turning once, about 8 minutes total.

Serve warm with Mango Salsa. Garnish with cilantro and lime wedges,

if desired.
