Refried Black Beans - La Morena - 440 g

You can buy them online on the Mexsabores website, which ships La Morena products from Milan throughout Italy and Europe. The 440 g size keeps well in the pantry, so it is handy to order more than one and always have an essential ingredient of Mexican cooking within reach.

The ingredients are black beans, water, soybean oil, onion and iodized salt. They contain soy because of the soybean oil, so anyone with allergies or intolerances should always check the label on the package before consuming. They are also rich in plant protein and fiber, a nutritious option for anyone cooking Mexican food at home.

They have a creamy, thick texture, with the typical flavor of black beans fried with onion and a drizzle of oil, following the traditional Mexican recipe. They are not spicy, so they pair well with both simple dishes and more elaborate preparations like nachos and burritos. The 440 g can is enough for 3 or 4 servings.

Heat them in a pan for 2 or 3 minutes, or in the microwave for 90 seconds, and they become the base for burritos, nachos, tacos and quesadillas. One idea is to make nachos with hot black beans, melted cheese, jalapeño and guacamole, or a vegetarian burrito with rice, corn and chipotle sauce. They are also perfect as a side dish for any Mexican or Tex-Mex meal.

La Morena Refried Black Beans are selected black beans, mashed and fried with onion following the traditional Mexican recipe. La Morena is a Mexican brand founded in 1970 by the Ayala family in Puebla, with over 55 years of experience in authentic Mexican cooking. The result is a thick, flavorful cream, ready in a few minutes, which is a cornerstone of Mexican cuisine.
