" There are many recipes that I like better for refried beans than this one but they are loaded with fat, like bacon grease. I have taken that out and have left you with a high protein tasty recipe that is good for your waistline. Add more chili flakes if you love spicy. This is not authentic Mexican recipe but has a Mexican flavor. I like to make the beans ahead of time and let the flavors meld then just reheat."
