Re-fried beans, yay or nay?

[cranny]

Our family at home are always wanting to eat mexican. I love it as well but it's hard to do when trying to eat clean. 9 out of 10 times I order just a plate of grilled chicken and an order of re-fried beans. I wouldn't think what I order is too bad other than the high salt content on the chicken. What's your take on the beans? Should I avoid them along w/ the chips?

Refried beans are fine. Basically pinto beans mashed up.

My favorite cheat...Mexican.

except for the unlimited amounts of chips and salsa they put in front of your face.. the temptation, sucks.

Re-fried beans are fine.... but I wouldn't be dippin the chips in them.

I usually order a chicken burrito with extra chicken and then just eat the inside.

pinto is good

ok, depends on how much oil they use to "refry" them. Normally, when we cook them, you basically use no oil, just pour them on a skillet (teflon) and let them dry a bit.

Ask at the restaurant how they are made.

The beans per sé are good, fibrous carbs and protein, complete that protein and you have a GO
