Refried Beans with Cheese is a flavorful dish rooted in Mexican cuisine, combining cooked and mashed pinto or black beans with melted cheese for a creamy, savory experience. The beans are traditionally fried twice—first to soften, then to develop their rich, hearty texture—though non-fat or minimally fried versions are also common. Packed with plant-based protein, dietary fiber, and essential minerals like iron and potassium, refried beans support digestive health and sustained energy. Adding cheese enhances the dish’s richness and provides calcium, though it brings extra saturated fats and calories, making portion control key for a balanced diet. This dish is vegetarian-friendly and can be paired with rice, tacos, or as a dip. Opting for low-fat cheese or beans prepared with minimal oil gives a lighter, nutrient-dense alternative while still delivering its comforting, nourishing appeal.
