Refried Bean Pitta Pockets
Ingredients
1 tin refried beans
6 small or 3 large pitta breads
lettuce
tomato
salsa (optional)
Warm the pitta breads in an oven or the toaster for a few minutes. I find it is easier to slice them open when cold.
Warm the refried beans. Spoon the bean mix into the bottom of the pitta bread and top with finely shredded lettuce and chopped cherry tomatoes.
It is equally nice with a layer of salsa or vegan mayonaise on top.

I think you are looking for a recipe to make refried brean right? not a recipe with them in it...?
Empty a can of beans onto a frying pan season with a little all purpose seasoning & heat as they get soft you can mash the with a fork & voila!

I sort of have one, it came from epicurious.com. It's the one where you boil your pinto beans first, then saute green onions with lard (yes lard!), then cook in the beans and mash as you go.
So bad for me, yet so good.
