Falafel with Avocado Spread
Falafel is a Middle Eastern specialty made by deep-frying patties of ground chickpeas. This Latin twist on this dish uses pinto beans combined with crushed tortilla chips, cilantro, and cumin. The patties are pan-fried in a small amount of oil, making them lower in fat than traditional falafel.
