Fluff rice and add to the beans.
Add breadcrumbs, eggs, garlic salt, and pepper. Mix to combine well.
Divide mixture evenly to make four 1-inch thick patties.
Lightly oil a non-stick skillet and heat to medium-high.
Add patties and cook for 4-5 minutes.
Turn patties and cook for an addition 4-5 minutes.
Remove from heat once browned and heated through.
Top each of the cakes with 1 tablespoon of guacamole and 1 tablespoon salsa. Add a dollop of sour cream, if using. Serve immediately.
Recipe Notes
Use pre-cooked packaged rice.
Substitute pinto or kidney beans.
Skip the guacamole if you prefer a low-fat option.
Use an egg replacement to make it vegan.
Use almond meal in place of breadcrumbs to make it gluten-free.
Use quinoa or any other grain in place of rice.
Add a little hot sauce or additional seasoning to spice things up.
