What it is

Refried beans are a dish made from cooked and mashed beans, most commonly pinto beans, though black beans and other varieties are also used. After cooking, the beans are mashed and then often fried or simmered with seasonings and fat.

Why it's used

Refried beans are commonly used as a filling for burritos, tacos, and empanadas, as well as a side dish in Mexican and Tex-Mex cuisine. They contribute a creamy texture and savory flavor to various packaged foods.

Health notes

Refried beans are a whole food, not a food additive, so they are not subject to FDA approval or GRAS status as an ingredient. They are a good source of dietary fiber and plant-based protein. The nutritional content can vary depending on the type of fat and other ingredients used in their preparation.
