2 tblsp finely chopped green onions
1 tblsp finely chopped cilantro
1/8 tsp ground cumin
1 large egg white

Remaining Ingredients:
Pitas cut in half

Directions:
1 - Place pinto beans in a bowl, partially mash with a fork.  Add cheese and next 5 ingredients (through egg white).  Stir well until combined.  Shape bean mixture into 4 (1/2 inch thick) oval patties.

2 - Heat oil in a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat.  Add patties to pan, cook 3 minutes on each side or until patties are browned and thoroughly heated.

3 - Make spread by combining those ingredients, stirring well.  Place each patty in a pita half and spread 2 tablespoons avacado spread over patty.  Top with onions and greens.  Enjoy!

This Week we brag about how much we're enjoying our new furniture (as a side note, after we recorded the show, our 2 year old peed on both the couch and the love seat). Our new entertainment system helped us get into Rescue Dawn.  We read from several of your emails and answer a listener question about praying to Saints.
