Steps:
- To make the Spicy Black Beans: heat the oil in a large skillet or pan over medium-high heat. Add the onion and garlic and sauté for about 5 minutes until the onion turns translucent and begins to brown. Add the black beans, chili powder, smoked paprika, cayenne, and salt and stir to combine. Cook for another 3 - 5 minutes to heat the beans through. Remove from heat and set aside.
- To make the Tangy Garlic Mayo: In a small bowl, mix together the vegan mayonnaise, lemon juice, garlic, and cumin. Set aside.
- To assemble the Pita Sandwiches: Warm the pitas, if desired. Spread each pita with about 2 tablespoons of the tangy garlic mayo. Divide the black bean mixture among the pitas, and then all of the remaining toppings- the avocado, tomato, lettuce, cucumber, red onion, and banana peppers. Enjoy!

BLACK BEAN PITAS
This delicious dish is inspired by a recipe from drfuhrman.com. It reminds us of bean dishes we have had in a Mexican restaurant. I've made a few changes and rewritten the instructions to simplify the preparation. The black bean mixture can also be used to fill a large corn tortilla wrap or served over shredded romaine lettuce for a warm salad. You can also layer the black beans with corn tortillas in an 8 inch square pan and bake 15 minutes in a 375 degree oven.

CHICKEN AND BLACK BEAN PITAS
This was great! It reminded me of Jack-in-the-Box pitas. I used frozen pre-cooked diced chicken from the grocery store. It worked fine. Also, if you have someone who doesn't like onions, onion powder is fine to substitute.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 375° F.
- Halve pitas horizontally and sprinkle rough sides with salt and pepper to taste. On a baking sheet toast pitas, rough sides up, in middle of oven until golden, about 5 minutes, and break into bite-size pieces. Rinse and drain beans in a colander.
- In a kettle cover corn with water and bring to a boil. Drain corn and when cool enough to handle cut kernels from cobs into a bowl. Add pita pieces, beans, remaining ingredients, and salt and pepper to taste and toss to combine.
Tips:
- For the best flavor, use fresh, ripe avocados. If your avocados are not ripe, you can place them in a paper bag with an apple or banana for a day or two to help them ripen.
- If you don't have a food processor, you can mash the avocados by hand. However, a food processor will give you a smoother consistency.
- Feel free to add other ingredients to your guacamole, such as chopped tomatoes, onions, cilantro, or jalapeños. You can also add a squeeze of lime juice or a dash of salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve your guacamole immediately, or store it in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Be sure to cover the guacamole tightly to prevent it from browning.
