About Refried beans with shredded cheese
Refried beans with shredded cheese is a popular dish rooted in Mexican cuisine, often enjoyed as a side or filling for tacos, burritos, and other traditional recipes. This comforting staple is made by mashing cooked pinto or black beans, which are then lightly fried with oil or lard to enhance their flavor and texture. Shredded cheese, typically cheddar or a Mexican blend, is melted over the warm beans to add richness and creaminess. Refried beans are nutrient-dense, providing fiber, protein, and essential minerals like iron and magnesium, making them a satisfying and energizing option. However, the inclusion of cheese and frying oil can raise calorie and fat content, requiring moderation for health-conscious eaters. When prepared with minimal oil and paired with a low-fat cheese option, refried beans with cheese can be a balanced addition to your meal that combines authentic taste with wholesome ingredients.
