Low-Fat Homestyle Refried Beans image

A real nice side to a spicy Mexican dish. And these are so much tastier than canned refried beans, while still taking advantage of canned rather than dried beans. The recipe comes from Light & Tasty.

These refried beans are a great way to add some extra protein and fiber to your diet. They're also a good source of iron and calcium.

I'm not vegan, but I'm always looking for ways to reduce my meat consumption. These refried beans are a great alternative to traditional refried beans, and they're just as delicious.
