About Homemade refried beans

Homemade refried beans are a hearty and versatile dish rooted in Mexican cuisine. Made by cooking pinto or black beans until tender, then mashing and simmering them with spices, garlic, and onion, they offer a rich, creamy texture and bold flavor. Traditionally, lard is used for frying, but healthier options like olive oil or vegetable oil can reduce saturated fat content. Refried beans are an excellent source of plant-based protein, fiber, and essential nutrients like folate and iron, making them a nutritious addition to meals. However, sodium levels can rise if canned beans or added salt are used, so opting for fresh ingredients and seasoning to taste can help maintain their nutritional value. Perfect in burritos, as a dip, or alongside rice, homemade refried beans are a flavorful way to enjoy a wholesome staple of Latin American cooking.
