This is what we had last night. It was quick and low fat and with more
chipotles added, a lot hotter. I used a lower amount of chipotle so DH
wouldn't scream and I added some extra hot sauce into the mayonnaise on
my sandwich. Really good.

--------  ------------  --------------------------------
   1      tbsp          reduced fat mayonnaise
   3      tbsp          nonfat sour cream -- or nonfat yogurt

     3/4  cup           red onion -- chopped
   3      tbsp          fresh cilantro -- chopped
   1      clove         garlic -- finely chopped
   1      tbsp          mild chili powder
   1      tsp           ground cumin
   2      tbsp          fresh lime juice
                        salt -- to taste
   2      lg squares    corn bread -- sliced horizontally
     1/2  small head    iceberg lettuce -- shredded

   1                    vine ripened tomato -- cored & sliced

In a small bowl, stir together mayonnaise, sour cream and chipotle
peppers. Set aside.

In a large bowl, combine black beans, red onion, cilantro, garlic, chili
powder, cumin, lime juice, and salt. Lightly mash the beans while
stirring, until all ingredients are incorporated and the mixture just
holds together (or you can use a food processor and just pulse until it
comes together).

Toast the corn bread slices. When they are toasted, remove them and
slather the top piece with some of the chipotle mayonnaise. Then put a
couple of slices of avocado and some tomato (or lettuce). Pile on some
of the black bean mixture and cover with the bottom piece of cornbread.
Turn sandwich over. 

Serve with chips or potatoes.
