About Refried beans
Refried beans are a staple in Mexican and Tex-Mex cuisine, made from cooked pinto or black beans that are mashed and fried, typically with oil or lard, and seasoned with garlic, onion, or spices like cumin. They are often served as a side dish, a filling for burritos, or a topping for tostadas. Nutritionally, refried beans offer a good source of plant-based protein, fiber, iron, and folate, contributing to muscle health, digestion, and energy production. However, traditional recipes may include lard or excessive salt, making them higher in saturated fat and sodium, which can be a drawback for heart health if consumed in large amounts. Opting for vegetarian versions made with healthier oils or low-sodium options can maximize their benefits. Refried beans are versatile and satisfying, making them a popular choice for hearty and nutritious meals when enjoyed in moderation.
