Refried Bean Flakes

My teens love these; and even their friends request burritos when they come for lunch. I like being able to make as much or little as we need, and as thick as we like them. Sometimes I add chili powder and cumin; but often use them just as they are. Bean dip is another favorite way we enjoy them. I buy the case because we go through so much ... and to get the better price.

I ordered one large can just to try them out not really knowing what to expect. When I re-hydrated them I added some dehydrated onions along with some chili powder and cumin seed and salt and pepper. They were almost as good as the re-fried beans I make from scratch. I will definitely buy more to use when I am pressed for time.

Excellent! Will be buying regularly for shtf/emergency storage and to have on hand.

I've used this in dip (with salsa & cheese), side dish, and bean & cheese burritos. 1/4 cup product plus 1/4 cup boiling water, 1 tsp diced jalapenos, 1/4 cup cheese works great for me for burrito filling.

For ease of use and flavor, these are wonderful! We always have them on hand...they are a go-to base for a quick meal of quesadillas, burritos or tacos. Absolutely delicious!

we eat these at home all the time

the only fault I can find is they contain too much salt

Theses are by far the best beans you could probably get your hands on. My girlfriend Kayla is the queen of reading reviews but she never likes to leave one. So I decided to leave one since it was the reviews that led me to make this purchase. I've bought 2 cases so far and will be getting more soon! They're extremely easy & fast to make! My girlfriend isn't much of a cook and she can even make them. They taste great, they last for a long time and are also great left over for several days. Our favorite dish to use them for so far is burritos.

I was a little hesitant about buying these bean flakes, but I am so glad I did. They are so very easy to make, and you can make any quantity you want. We use them as a side for Mexican dishes and have also used them in recipes. They are better than the canned beans because you can make them in any quantity that you need, and can make them thick or thin. They even have some texture. So they are not like bean mush. When we run out of what I bought, I will definitely buy these again.

I got my order yesterday and was making up some ready to eat meals. I decided to open the refried beans just to try them. They were very very good! I would add a little more water next time. I had gone with half water, half beans and it was a bit dry. But overall, I won't need canned beans anymore!

Very convenient for 1 or 2 people. They do get thick. I added a little more water-twice. If I had some bacon grease I'd probably add it too...not that they need it-good without it-that's just the way I cook...I'm going to repackage into baggies and put back into the #10 can with an oxygen absorber-since we don't eat them very often.

We love these. They're just like we get in Mexican restaurants. Less salt in these would make them even better, as if they aren't wonderful enough!
