About Serving of refried beans

Refried beans are a traditional dish commonly found in Mexican and Tex-Mex cuisine, made by cooking and mashing beans, typically pinto or black beans, then frying them with added seasonings like salt, onion, garlic, or lard. This creamy, hearty dish is often served as a side or part of main recipes like tacos, burritos, and nachos. Refried beans are rich in plant-based protein, dietary fiber, and essential nutrients like iron, magnesium, and potassium, making them a heart-healthy and filling choice. However, their nutritional profile can vary based on preparation methods; versions made with added lard or excessive salt may be higher in unhealthy fats and sodium, potentially reducing their health benefits. Opting for vegetarian or lower-fat variations can make them more nutritious. Overall, refried beans are a versatile and flavorful food choice with both traditional appeal and potential health benefits when consumed in moderation.
