In a small bowl, add the spices and mix to combine.
Place the onion, garlic, bell pepper, jalapeno, and parsley in a bowl and pulse a few times with a hand blender until finely chopped. (Or place in food processor only until finely chopped, or use pestle and mortar).
Transfer the onion mixture to a large mixing bowl. Add the vegan beef (or black beans). the spice mixture and a dash of salt. Mix until well combined and spices are evenly distributed within the vegan meat mixture.
Heat a large pan and cook the vegan beef (or black bean) mixture until golden brown ( 5-7 minutes), adding the tomato paste half way through.
Cut the pita loafs into halves to create 6 pita pockets.
Heat another large pan on the stove top with a generous drizzle of olive oil.
Stuff each pita pocket with the vegan meat mixture. Using the back of a spoon, spread the meat mixture inside the pita pockets.
Arrange the pitas in the prepared frying pan and cook each side on medium low for 6 minutes each until golden brown.
