Refried beans are so easy and inexpensive to make. They taste great in Mexican wraps or can be used as a dip for some clean corn chips along with some Clean Eating Guacamole. Sometimes I make up a batch to put on top of a jacket potato or to use as a base on a Mexican pizza.

Beans are a great source of protein, vitamins, minerals and fibre. They make a great meat substitute in many dishes, like my Clean Eating 3 Bean Chilli.
These Clean Eating Refried Beans are pretty mild, but feel free to add some extra seasonings to spice them up a little bit!
