Put this on
your taco
and eat it.
You won’t be sorry.
These refried beans are surprisingly rich in flavor despite being entirely plant-based — in fact, they’re vegan. They deliver the same comforting, savory depth you’d expect from traditional recipes, without any meat.
If you normally enjoy pinto beans with bacon, try this version: it’s packed with bright, well-rounded seasonings and a silky texture that transforms tacos, burritos, tostadas, or simply a bowl with toppings.
The full recipe originally appeared on the Tasty Kitchen Blog — it’s straightforward and produces reliably delicious, homemade refried beans. Try it and enjoy a flavorful, vegetarian-friendly addition to your favorite Mexican dishes.
