Taco Tuna Patties
 
 
1/3 C    Oats, whole, non-instant  
1 Can    Tuna, in water, drained (about 6 oz)  
  Nonstick cooking spray  
1 Clove    Garlic, chopped  
1/2 C    Chopped red onions  
1/2 Large    Potato, boiled with skin on, must still be warm  
1 Tbl    Lime juice  
 
1 Tbl    Taco seasoning mix  
2   Egg whites  
2 Tbl    Fresh cilantro, chopped  
1/2 Can    Green chiles  
  Salt (to taste)  
  Pepper (to taste)  
 
1 Put oats in a food processor and pulverize gently into a very coarse flour (should still be pieces of whole oats left)
2 Spray a small frying pan and sautee garlic and onion.
3 Mash together tuna and boiled potato. Add oat flour and taco seasoning. Add sautéed garlic and onion. Add lime juice, cilantro, chiles, and salt and pepper. Mix well.
4 Lightly whip egg whites in a separate bowl and fold them into the batter. Form into 4 patties.
5 Refrigerate so the patties firm up and hold their shape when cooked, 15 to 20 minutes.
6 Spray a larger frying pan and lightly fry the patties on both sides until they are warm inside.*
