- Refried beans
- Soups and stews
- Salads
- Chili
To prepare GOYA Pinto Beans, simply open the can and drain the liquid. You can rinse the beans under cold water if desired. For refried beans, mash them with a bit of their cooking liquid or water and sauté with oil and seasonings. They can also be added directly to soups, stews, or chili to add body and flavor. Warm them gently before serving to enhance their taste.

How to keep the rest
After opening the can, transfer any unused GOYA Pinto Beans to a separate airtight container. Store the container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. This ensures the beans remain fresh and safe to consume for your next meal preparation.
