Refried vegetarian beans are a versatile staple of Mexican cuisine, crafted from cooked pinto or black beans that are mashed and lightly fried, often with vegetable oil or plant-based alternatives. Unlike traditional refried beans that may use lard, this vegetarian version keeps the dish plant-based, making it suitable for vegetarians and vegans. Typically seasoned with garlic, onions, and spices like cumin or chili powder, they deliver bold flavor and a satisfying texture. Packed with protein, fiber, and essential nutrients like iron and magnesium, refried vegetarian beans promote digestive health and may aid in maintaining energy levels. However, their nutritional profile can vary depending on added fats and sodium. Choosing low-sodium recipes and using heart-healthy oils can make them an even smarter choice. Perfect as a side or a filling for burritos and tacos, they balance great taste with wholesome benefits.
