Most well-stocked markets will carry instant refried beans. At my local WalMart, I found an assortment of Instant Mexicali Rose flavors including fat-free pinto beans, fat-free black beans, green chile and spicy chorizo. From the recipe author, Andrew Schloss: "The amino acid structure of chicken eggs is the gold standard against which all other proteins are measured. Of all the non-animal proteins (soy, peanuts, grains), Quorn comes closest to the balance of amino acids in eggs."
