Bearitos Organic Vegetarian Traditional Refried Beans
What it is
These refried beans are made with organic pinto beans, water, and a touch of sea salt. They are prepared in a traditional style, meaning the beans are cooked, mashed, and then typically fried with a small amount of oil. This process gives them a creamy texture and a rich, savory flavor. They are a convenient and wholesome option for adding to various meals.

To prepare, simply heat the refried beans in a saucepan over medium heat, stirring occasionally until warmed through. You can also microwave them in a microwave-safe dish.
