About Half a cup of refried beans
Half a cup of refried beans is a flavorful dish commonly found in Mexican and Tex-Mex cuisines. Made from mashed pinto or black beans, the beans are typically cooked with ingredients like oil, spices, onion, and garlic for added flavor. While traditionally fried in lard, healthier versions may use vegetable oil or no added fat at all. Refried beans are packed with plant-based protein, dietary fiber, and essential nutrients such as iron, magnesium, and potassium. They can help support muscle growth, digestion, and cardiovascular health. However, some preparations may be high in sodium or saturated fat, depending on the cooking method and added ingredients, so it’s important to check labels or opt for homemade versions. This versatile dish pairs well with rice, tortillas, or as a topping for nachos and tacos, offering both a satisfying texture and a boost of nutrition in your meal.
