These are my go to refried beans. I will never look for another recipe again. So much better than canned and even way better than the Mexican restaurants in my area. Thank you for the deliciousness!

These refried beans look incredible! I’ve always been intimidated by making them from scratch, but using canned beans and having them ready in 25 minutes makes this totally doable on a weeknight. The lime and cilantro must add such a fresh pop. I also appreciate that they’re vegan and packed with protein—perfect for meal prep.

In reply to Jan. Hi Jan, yes, though the flavor and consistency may be different, you can use this same method.

In reply to Anshel. Hi Anshel, you can use this same method. Navy beans are more delicate and mild than pinto beans, so they will have a slightly different flavor and texture.

This recipe is easy and delicious ! I subbed the cilantro out with the parsley ( I have the unfortunate soap gene) and lemon instead of lime( what I had on hand. I used dry beans and soaked them overnight and then cooked them. Sure more work, but a made a BIG batch to use in my corn and bean salad also.
