I don't know what I might have done wrong. The mix was very dry and would not stick together. And I added less breadcrumb because I didn't have quite enough. I added a little more chipoltle sauce and olive oil to try to make them stick together, but it still wasn't working. The crushed chips wouldn't stick and most of the cakes fell apart in the pan. They tasted good, but luckily I was just trying them out for my husband and was not serving them to company!

These were yum. I made them smaller and served them with roasted chipotle salsa, salad and tortilla and we all loved them. Will definitely make them again.

I love the blend of spices. It is satisfying and perfect for a vegetarian meal or even a side dish.
