What's your favorite way to use refried beans?

[@normalopez2856]

Hey Miranda! I love bean burritos and bean tostadas. I love to make a pot of pinto beans and I sautee some Roma tomatoes and onions and 1 Serrano pepper and then I will add like 4 cups of pinto beans with the broth! I love pinto beans bowls!

[@robinswan5831]

Fry bread tacos!!! YUM!

[@kristen9264]

Enchiladas! Add it with a riced frozen veggie and some enchilada sauce and that’s it.

[@tracyhenderson5116]

I love making the Rosarita refried bean soup! ❤

When I make refried beans we mix is with white rice. We eat it with Mexican quest fresco. So darn good. 10/10 recomend

[@rebeccapetry1801]

I like to warm up refried beans and put on top of salad lettuce. Will add cheese, black olives or banana pepper rings if I have them. My dressing is salsa or picante. This is a quick and cheap meal.

[@shelbyrose5407]

I love adding refried beans to a chicken burrito that I make for lunch all the time! Also love the thrive market beans, they taste the best and are so clean!

[@jonicabeird4657]

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ My favorite way to use the refried beans is tacos with corn tortillas, homemade refried beans, diced onion, cilantro, lettuce, salsa and hot sauce. Sometimes plant based sour cream. Yummmmm. I got cute taco holders on Temu for .99 each that hold three tacos on one side or two on the other side, total game changer no more soggy tacos and the tacos looks so amazing when served on these

[@kimberlywhidden6966]

I love to put a can of fat free refried beans in my chili. It thickens it up perfectly!

[@elkepool3861]

My go to when in a rush is refried beans wrapped in tortilla and grilled on my foreman grill. Also Dollartree has La Sierra refried black beans for $ 1.25 . I also freeze leftover refried beans from a can, cut in small portions so convenient when I am in a hurry 😀

[@flourishingmiranda]

thats where I got these but they didn't have black beans!

[@tracyc1121]

For a simple meal I like to take a tostada shell and put warmed up beans on it and top it with verde sauce and shredded Mexican cheese. Sometimes I will also add diced tomatoes.

[@flourishingmiranda]

yum! will be trying that!!

[@robinswan5831]

I love mixing them into soups to give it a thick, creamy texture!

[@yvonnepalmquist8676]

Tomato soup is a great one for this.

[@Halfwaythere807]

I use refried beans in place of meat a lot of times but you have provided even more ideas so thank you!! BTW I made your pasta, spinach, mushroom and hummus recipe and it was yummy!!! The garlic hummus I used was better than most Alfredo sauces I’ve used and hummus is a better source of protein…super delicious dish!! Would really enjoy summer barbecue ideas!! Thank you again Miranda❤

[@flourishingmiranda]

im so glad! thank you for letting me know!!

[@Pam-tm8vi]

Where is that pasta recipe? I must have missed it but would love to try.

[@victoriastarkey7778]

I like to make chili con carne with refried beans. I use the same recipe for chili con carne except I don't use the meat and I put in a can of refried beans . I gave it to my daughter and she didn't even realize it wasn't meat.

[@michaelajoseph6856]

Yum! Thank you Miranda!

[@danabaker5996]

I love been burritos

[@cece4967]

All the recipes look amazing! I plan to try all of them. Thanks for the ideas!

[@sherrymacias346]

I use refried beans, mix with a can og mild green chilies. Then add pace salsa and lots of chopped cilantro and a little garlic salt. Mix with a little cheese either in the beans or on top. Bake till hot and crusty serve with chips!

[@yvonnepalmquist8676]

That sounds delicious. You could roll that in the lasagna noodles, too.

[@26laf]

I use refrieds to make simple bean and rice bowls. adding things like chopped peppers, cole slaw mix, salsa, avocado to top the bowl.

[@Sandrashideaway]

Great ideas! 😊 I like making an enchilada stack using corn tortillas, refried beans, corn, peppers & onions, cilantro, diced tomatoes, red enchilada sauce, and hot spices. Add cheese or taco meat for non vegan eaters or not for vegans. 😅 Bake 350 till bubbly.

[@Emilyagnes-yb8fn]

You are so creative. Love the way you eat!!!😊

[@sammof7939]

from mrs: really great vid! Liked the recipes. Looking forward to next vids!!

[@francinegee9062]

More grill recipes please! My husband has a Blackstone I need a corner to cook healthy recipes on. Thanks!

[@flourishingmiranda]

thats what he's getting! be on the look out!!

[@helenmorgan7767]

I mix riced cauliflower or riced broccoli into my refried beans to lighten it up.

[@RidingRoads715]

Thank you soooo much for this burger idea! Such a simple, easy recipe but so good! I never would have thought to do this 😊

[@yvonnepalmquist8676]

Those roll-up lasagnas would be good as taco lasagna. Season the beans, add chiles, tomatoes, top with cheese and sour cream or avocado. That would be so yummy.

[@alykatbuttercup836]

I use it in 5 can taco soup.

[@beccasteele6874]

Excellent meals 🎉

[@carriesummers6949]

Yes! Plz do a grilling video!!! And those burgers lk AMAZING!! How do they freeze and can u grill them for more flavor?

[@flourishingmiranda]

freeze uncooked and thaw whenever ready to use and yes obviously the grill adds more flavor :)

[@carriesummers6949]

@@flourishingmiranda omg!!! I jus made the burgers and they r delicious!! I WILL b making more! Thank you SO much for sharing this recipe!!!

[@katherinefein3261]

Tasted Fantastic!! How do I get the patties to stay together? Mine crumbled apart?

[@flourishingmiranda]

Just like a showed here. 2 ingredients, don’t drain the beans + 1 cup flakes (sometimes I even do 1 1/2 cups) mix together with a fork, roll into a patty and that’s it! Grill or cook on the stove top in a pan 3-4 minutes a side than flip

[@jenniferjohnston5548]

Hi, I hope there's a recipe on your website. Wish you did video on the cheese sauce. Looks good! ❤ Thanks

[@yvonnepalmquist8676]

She's recorded making it many times. Do a search on her channel for it and I bet you can find it.

[@chuckmccay]

I'm going to try all of them. What brand of cheese did you top the baked pasta with? It looks great and appears to have melted really well.

[@flourishingmiranda]

its the almond cheese from trader joes!

[@chuckmccay]

@@flourishingmiranda Thank You, I go to TJ's every week. I'll pick some up on the next trip.

[@RidingRoads715]

@@chuckmccaybe careful if you’re vegan, last I checked it definitely has milk in it

[@RidingRoads715]

@@flourishingmirandahi! Just want to say, be careful, the almond cheese from Trader Joe’s has milk in it unless they recently changed it…I don’t think they did though. It’s maddening that they would put milk in an almond cheese!!

[@flourishingmiranda]

Not vegan never have been was plant based for years and I can read labels lol 🤣 most people can!

[@Eattherainbow427]

We make pinto beans enchiladas! SO GOOD
