How people cook with it
Refried beans are a versatile staple in many cuisines. They can be served as a simple side or incorporated into more complex dishes.
- Side dish for Mexican meals
- Layered in dips

To heat, you can pour the contents into a saucepan and warm over medium heat, stirring occasionally until heated through. Alternatively, you can microwave the beans in a microwave-safe dish, covered, for about one to two minutes, stirring halfway through. For a creamier texture, you can add a small amount of water or broth while heating. They are best served hot.

Unlike whole beans, refried beans are already mashed, making them quicker to prepare and easier to spread. The organic nature signifies a specific farming practice. This version is seasoned, so additional salt may not be needed depending on your taste.
