Refried Beans a Mexican dish, with an American slant. a vegan revival

I was especially inspired by the classic book diet for a small planet by francis moore lappe. as a nature lover involved in a growing environmental movement, it was a real eye opener. my diet was greatly enhanced thanks to another classic the vegetarian epicure by anna thomas. with these as a starting point i experimented all kinds of ways of making delicious and nutritionally balanced vegetarian food. being in america it was obvious that beans was an essential part of that diet. so i am pleased to enter this challenge with a traditional dish, refried beans. actually this is originally a mexican dish but america is a fusion of many cultures and the revival of vegetarianism in america in the 1970s grew organically from this fusion. today the way i am preparing refried beans is a product of that culture.
