Fat-free and full of fiber, these homemade refried beans are a tasty alternative to the store-bought variety. Only 15 minutes from start to on the table!<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I will start by saying that the word “refried” in the title is in quotes for a reason. These beans are not technically refried at all; however, they have the same consistency as traditional refried beans This change allows us to pack tons of flavor into this recipe without any of the fat or oils you need to fry the beans. It’s a much lighter version of the standard Mexican food!<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019ll also admit they hit my lazy mom spot \u2014 15 minutes from start to finish, and only about 3 of them are actual hands-on time. Aside from being fat free and fast, this recipe is also high fiber, and relatively low-calorie (140 cal for store-bought and 100 cal for this recipe). And yes, opening a can of refried beans is reheating them is faster, but there’s just something about making your own refried beans. They’re tastier, healthier, and so worth the 3 minutes!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These beans are even a perfect party dip on their own. My favorite way to eat them by far though, is as a family tradition. When I was a teenager, my mom would make a version of these every Friday. We would then plop a serving of beans in a bowl, top it with tomatoes, onion, cheese, and salsa and then use tortilla chips to eat our bowl of beans in front of a movie. We very inventively called it \u201cBowl of Beans and a Movie,\u201d and it was one of my favorite meals.<\/p>\n\n\n
