About Frijoles de la olla

Frijoles De La Olla is a traditional Mexican dish featuring whole beans simmered in a simple pot of water with aromatic seasonings like onion, garlic, and sometimes herbs like epazote. Often made with pinto, black, or peruano beans, this humble yet flavorful recipe highlights the versatility of legumes in Mexican cuisine. Rich in protein, fiber, and essential nutrients such as folate, iron, and magnesium, these beans offer numerous health benefits, including supporting digestion and promoting heart health. Frijoles De La Olla are naturally low in fat and free from added sugars, making them a wholesome choice for balanced meals. However, they can become less healthy if prepared with excess salt or served alongside high-fat toppings. Traditionally enjoyed as a side dish, a standalone soup, or part of other recipes, Frijoles De La Olla reflect the hearty, nourishing essence of Mexican home-cooking.
