I love having refried beans in my tacos and other Mexican dishes, but they are so very bad for us. On the other hand, unadulterated pinto beans are actually pretty good for us. I have started making my own "refried" beans by taking a can of pinto beans, rinsing and draining them and pureeing them in the food processor. It is so good and I don't have to worry about all the added junk and fat.
