Macro Friendly Protein Refried Beans

Katie Cooksey

I love easy, vegetarian options for quicker dinners. Refried beans are so easy to make at home, are a great alternative to meat in a taco and don't break the bank. Since I've started counting macros, I have been coming up with creative (and delicious!) ways to add protein to meals that otherwise wouldn't have very much. These refried beans when paired with a low carb, high protein tortilla and a little low fat cheese turns out to be a filling and great meal.
