1/2 tsp onion powder
1/4 tsp mixed dried herbs
2 tsp nutritional yeast, optional
sea salt
black pepper
2 slices whole grain bread, or 1 whole grain pita
tomato, sliced
cucumber, sliced
lettuce, and/or sprouts

Instructions

In a small bowl, smash the beans with a fork. Drizzle in the oil and sprinkle on the onion powder, dried herbs, and nutritional yeast (if using). Smash to combine.
Scoop the bean mixture onto a slice of bread or into half a pita. Top with your choice of tomato, cucumber, lettuce, and/or sprouts. Close the sandwich with the other slice of bread, or fold the pita over.
