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.
