I use refried beans in burritos, on nachos, even on pizza, but the ones from the store are loaded with sodium. This version is low fat and low sodium, and they are delicious.

Steps:
- 1. https://www.justapinch.com/recipes/sauce-spread/salsa/pico-de-gallo-7.html?p=2
- 2. If using fresh cooked beans, drain juice. OR if using canned beans, drain and rinse well. Most of the sodium is in the juice. Use approx. 1/2 c of pico de gallo to 2 c. of beans. Add more or use less depending on your taste.
- 3. Mix drained beans and pico together. Place in food processor, add a little water and puree. The longer these sit up in the fridge the more flavorful they become. Add more spices if desired, but this really doesn't need any, it's SUPER flavor just as is.
- 4. To make low fat/low sodium nachos, try these chips. https://www.justapinch.com/recipes/appetizer/other-appetizer/spicy-baked-tortilla-chips-low-sodium-low.html?p=2
- 5. Here is a low fat/sodium recipe for nacho using these beans. https://www.justapinch.com/recipes/sauce-spread/salsa/nachos-low-fat-low-sodium.html?p=1
- 6. I also use this recipe for the beans: https://www.justapinch.com/recipes/side/other-side-dish/pinto-beans-2.html?p=1# I made 6 c. using these beans cooked without the ham hock. Once cooked I drained them and added 1/4 c. of pickled jalapeno juice (which does have sodium), 2 Tbl. of apple cider vinegar, and 2 c. of pico de gallo, then pureed them in batches and mixed altogether when finished.

LOW SODIUM/LOW FAT CREAM OF SOUP MIX SUBSTITUTE
I use this in place of cans of cream of chicken soup. I make it vegetarian by using a mock-chicken bouillon. The cooking time at the end is important to thicken the soup. If you're just dumping it in with other things, I tend to use only 1 cup of water to eliminate the cooking.

- Limit Processed Foods: Processed foods often contain high amounts of fat, sodium, and other unhealthy ingredients. Minimize their consumption and prioritize whole, unprocessed foods like fruits, vegetables, and whole grains.
- Use Herbs and Spices for Flavor: Instead of relying on salt to enhance flavor, experiment with herbs and spices. They add depth and complexity to dishes without adding sodium.
- Control Portion Sizes: Be mindful of portion sizes to avoid overeating. Smaller portions can help manage calorie and sodium intake.
- Be Creative and Experiment: Don't be afraid to try new recipes and experiment with different ingredients. Cooking at home allows you to control the ingredients and adjust them to your dietary preferences.
