We LOVE these organic canned black beans …

We love to have beans with our tacos on Taco Tuesdays but I never buy canned refried beans anymore because my kids just wouldn’t eat them. Honestly, now that I make up these not-fried refried beans, I don’t blame them. This version is so much tastier!!

Grab a can of your favorite beans – really any type of bean will work. All you need is some onion, garlic, a little olive oil, and a dash of coarse sea salt and you will have yourself some yummy not-fried refried beans in minutes.

We love to get our black beans based on whatever is on sale! Some of our favorites are the organic black beans from Harris Teeter. Easy peasy.
