Chipotle Refried Beans
• Add more water for a looser dip or less for a thicker spread. • Texture is flexible—fully smooth or partially chunky; both work well. • Flavors deepen after resting for 10 to 15 minutes. Health Benefits: Pinto beans provide plant-based protein and fiber that support gut health, satiety, and steadier blood sugar response. Chipotle adds flavor intensity without added fat or sugar, making this a nutrient-dense, high-fiber option that supports metabolic health and fullness.
