About Cup of refried beans
Cup of Refried Beans is a classic dish rooted in Mexican and Tex-Mex cuisine, known for its rich flavor and creamy texture. Typically made from cooked pinto or black beans, the beans are mashed and slow-cooked with ingredients like onion, garlic, salt, and fat such as lard or oil. While traditional recipes use lard for added richness, lighter versions often substitute olive oil for a healthier twist. Refried beans are a good source of plant-based protein, fiber, and essential minerals like iron and magnesium. They support digestion, promote satiety, and contribute to overall heart health when prepared with minimal added fats. However, they can be high in calories, sodium, and saturated fat depending on the recipe, so portion control and mindful preparation are key. This versatile dish is enjoyed as a side, dip, or filling, adding robust flavor to a variety of meals.
