10-Minute Brown Rice Cakes [Recipe]

I’ve had this Tex Mex recipe from Weelicious on my “recipes to try” list for quite some time. I finally made them and they were not only easy, but tasty.

I made the first batch plain and smaller — and realized there wasn’t going to be enough for us all. I got creative with the second batch by adding black beans, garlic powder and cumin and put them into bigger patties (we liked those better). We topped and dipped these in guacamole and salsa and I served them with a salad and some fruit. These are great for getting creative and tailoring to your family’s liking. I didn’t have cilantro but I will definitely include it next time!

The most surprising thing was Big A really liked these. It was a green eggs and ham moment: “I do like them, mommy, I do.” Little D wasn’t that hungry so it was hard to tell — he took a bite but didn’t keep eating.

Have you made anything like this before?

    Yum! These are quite tasty, even without cilantro. I made a batch for my toddlers, but ended up eating them for lunch myself, too. Thanks!
