Refried Beans, Canned

EverydayCannedCooked

Refried beans (canned) are pre-cooked pinto beans that have been mashed and simmered into a thick, creamy paste, traditionally prepared with lard but often available in vegetarian versions using oil. This shelf-stable format provides a convenient source of plant-based protein and dietary fiber, with a savory, earthy flavor profile ideal for Mexican-inspired dishes like burritos or as a hearty side. While nutrient-dense, some varieties may contain significant sodium from preservation processes.
