About Restaurant refried beans

Restaurant refried beans are a classic dish rooted in Mexican cuisine, often served as a side or part of main entrées. Typically made from pinto or black beans, they're cooked, mashed, and fried, often using oil, lard, or butter for richness. Seasonings like salt, garlic, and onion are common, while some recipes add chili or spices for extra flavor. Refried beans are a good source of protein, fiber, and essential minerals like iron and magnesium, making them a satisfying and nutritious option. However, their health profile can vary depending on preparation—those made with large amounts of fat or added sodium can be calorie-dense and high in salt. Opting for versions made with healthier oils or reduced sodium can balance their nutritional benefits while complementing their creamy texture and savory taste.
