About Serving a refried beans

Refried beans are a staple of Mexican cuisine, made by cooking and mashing pinto or black beans and then frying them, often with oil or lard, onions, and seasonings like garlic or cumin. Rich in plant-based protein, fiber, and essential nutrients such as iron and magnesium, refried beans are widely used as a side dish, filling for burritos, or topping for tostadas. Their fiber content supports digestive health and helps maintain stable blood sugar levels, while their protein aids in muscle repair and growth. Traditionally prepared with lard, they can be high in saturated fat, but opting for versions made with vegetable oil or without added fat can make them a healthier choice. Refried beans are versatile, flavorful, and an excellent option for those seeking nutrient-dense, meat-free dishes when prepared mindfully.
