Spicy corn cakes with Black Beans

I just made this last night and forgot just how simple it is to make and how delicious it is.
Ingredients:
1 15 oz can black beans, drained
1 tsp chili powder
1 tsp oregano (or 1 T fresh)

Mix together in a pot and heat through.

Corn cakes:
The corn cakes that go with this recipe aren't as good as these (which I just discovered and like a lot better): http://find.myrecipes.com/recipes/recipefinder.dyn?action=displayRecipe&recipe_id=10000001646375
Add 1 tsp of chili poweder to the corn cakes to make them a little spicy if you wish.

When I make this I always double the recipe for the beans and the corn cakes. For the kids I make a batch of corn cakes without the green onions. On your plate, lay down your corncakes, a heaping spoonful of the beans, sour cream and some homemade salsa (just tomato, onion and cilantro). Delicious! If you have any extra corn cakes they are great with a little honey on top.
