Instructions
Place beans in a large bowl; mash lightly with a fork.
Add eggs and cheese; whisk with fork until combined.
Heat oil in a small skillet over medium-high heat. When hot, stir in onion and garlic; cook until onion is soft and golden (2-3 minutes), stirring frequently. Stir in cilantro; remove from heat.
Add flour, baking powder, salt, and pepper (taking into account how well-seasoned your beans were initially) into bowl with beans.
Add onion mixture; stir with fork just until combined. (The consistency should be like thick cookie dough. If not, add a bit of flour).
Coat a baking sheet with cooking spray, and set aside. Using a large spoon or your hands, form bean mixture into 8 cakes; place onto prepared pan.
Bake until golden and crisp (about 30 minutes); serve hot or at room temperature with salsa and cilantro, if desired.
