These turned out better than I expected. They were delicious! My hubby even liked them and he normally prefers meat. Very impressed!

These cakes are easy to make and they go great with the mole salsa!

I substituted 1 cup of cooked butternut squash for the zucchini and they turned out great. The salsa was very yummy and really made the recipe great

Reviewed on Dec. 29, 2009 by laurenol

this recipe is excellent. I replaced the zucchini with 1 c corn, and made black bean burgers out of it. the burgers held together great, and had a texture similar to an actual burger. I didn't make the salsa, just put normal burger toppings on them.
