Southwestern Rice & Veggie Cakes

2 (1.5ounce) slices double fiber bread ( I used 1 cup plain bread crumbs)
2 (8.5ounce) packages of Santa Fe precooked whole-grain rice medley (such as uncle Ben's Santa Fe Ready Rice
4 large egg whites lightly beaten
3/4cup preshredded reduced fat mexican cheese blend
Cooking Spray
1/2cup sour cream
2 teaspoons fresh lime juice ( I used bottled)
1/4 teaspoon chili powder

1-place bread in food processor, and pulse 10 times or until crumbs measure 1 cup. Combine crumbs, rice, egg whites and cheese in large bowl; mix well. Divide mixture into 8 equal portions, shaping each into a 2 inch patty

2-Heat large skillet, cook w/ cooking spray, add 4 patties to pan cook for 3 minutes, carefully turn patties over and cook another 3minutes or until lightly browned.

3-While patties cook, prepare sour cream, lime juice and chili powder in a small bowl.

Arrange cakes on platter, top each with sourcream mixture.

2 rice cakes and 2 tablespoon of sour cream mixture is a serving.
