What it is
These are pre-cooked and mashed black beans, prepared with a minimal amount of fat. They are made from organic black beans, offering a convenient and wholesome option for meals. The beans are seasoned and cooked to a smooth, creamy consistency, making them ready to heat and serve.
How people cook with it
Refried beans are a versatile ingredient, perfect for adding substance and flavor to many dishes. They can be served as a side or incorporated into more complex meals.
- As a side dish
- In burritos and tacos
- As a dip
- On nachos
To prepare, gently heat the refried beans in a saucepan over medium heat, stirring occasionally until warmed through. You can add a splash of water or vegetable broth if a thinner consistency is desired. Alternatively, microwave them in a microwave-safe dish for a minute or two, stirring halfway through. They are excellent when spread onto tortillas for enchiladas or quesadillas, layered into nachos, or served alongside rice and other Mexican-inspired dishes.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to traditional refried beans, this low-fat version uses less oil during preparation. This results in a lighter texture and flavor profile, while still maintaining the characteristic creamy consistency and earthy taste of black beans.

How to keep the rest
After opening, transfer any unused refried beans to a sealed container and refrigerate. Consume within 3 to 5 days for optimal freshness. Ensure the container is airtight to prevent spoilage and maintain the texture of the beans.
