Refried Beans with Coconut Oil

Easy Vegan Beans

feature quick easy refried beans

Traditional Mexican beans are made with lard, but you can make absolutely delicious and easy vegan refried beans with coconut oil instead of lard. 

I’ve made vegan beans with other types of oil, but it is the coconut oil that gives the beans the authentic Mexican taste and texture that I want. 

It doesn’t take long at all to make these homemade vegan refried beans, so this recipe is a good time saver.

The beans are good for a quick meal at home or you can serve them to guests.  

They can be a nice side dish alongside other Mexican dishes or you can use the refried beans for burritos or tacos. 

However you decide to eat them, the beans are a good way to add protein and fiber to your diet. 

And, the taste is fabulous!

Enjoy.
