If you like refried beans that taste like just beans, no major spiciness or additional veggie ingredients, you will like these. These refried beans are hearty and easy to use in a variety of recipes. And with the lower sodium count, you are more likely to be able to incorporate these into a low-salt diet.

I use these for nachos. I spread the beans on organic corn tortilla chips, top the whole thing with about a 1/4 portion of cheese (by that, I mean that I use maybe 1/4 of a cup for a 2-person portion; I guess you could say that I am cutting cheese out of my diet as much as possible), and stick it all in the oven for a few minutes, just long enough for the cheese to melt and the beans to warm up.

Then I top the baked result with organic salsa.

Wonderful!

These beans make great bean-n-cheese tacos, too.

Healthy and delicous--enjoy!

This is the second time that I have order a case of these beans. The first time a couple of the cans were dented. With the order that arrived yesterday 11 of the 12 cans were dented.

All the packaging was intact with no crushing on the box. 11 of the 12 cans were dented - some horribly. It is clear to me that the seller is providing seconds - which are then being passed along. While they MAY be safe - I don't want to take that chance - and they were not advertised as "scratch and dent" type item.

Update: Contacted AMZ as item not eligible for return. They told me to keep or throw away the dented cans and they sent me a replacement case in 2 days. All cans in good shape on replacement.

Great product - the glitch was somewhere in the order filling process. We will continue to buy this product.

This is a great product, lower sodium than traditional canned refried beans, organic, and just plain great! I use these as a simple side dish, or put them on tortillas and make a quick lunch or dinner. The price is also cheaper than if I bought a can individually every time I wanted some.

I love Amy's foods but the taste of these beans are not my favorite. They taste way different than other refried black bean companies. I think its that they are sweeter? Not sure but make sure you like the flavor before ordering. I just assumed I would and now I am forcing 12 cans of beans down my throat that I don't really care for.

Nothing against Amy's or these beans. Just preference.

My taste buds aren't ruined with fast food salt and grease. I LOVE being able to taste real food with Amy's unsalted brand. They use such good tasting ingredients I can enjoy these refried beans, even without adding salsa. Noticed I wouldn't be hungry for a long time after eating a few tacos made with these beans. That's a huge deal when someone has low blood sugar issues. Nice to just live my day instead of constantly trying to eat small meals to keep sugar levels from crashing.

I keep a case of cans at work with some taco shells so I always have a quick, cheap meal on hand.

I HAVE EATEN THESE BEANS RIGHT OUT OF CAN. I SMEAR THE BEANS ON SOUTH BEACH MULTI-GRAIN WRAPS, (PURCHASED AT AMAZON), YUM. I LIKE MY BEANS SPICEY SO I USE SOME MEDIUM OR HOT SALSA MIXED IN, OR A FEW DROPS OF HOT SAUCE. YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED WITH AMY'S BEANS, USE YOUR IMAGINATION WHEN PREPARING.

These refried black beans are amazing. The spices are just right and perfect for everything. Also, the price on Amazon is the best I've found. We were paying more than $3 per can at Whole Foods, but can get them shipped free for around $2 per can through Amazon. We're already on our second case!

So much better than regular refried beans! I like the regular better than the light in sodium...I just add some salt and it's great. Makes awesome nachos!

This is the strangest tasting Amy's brand (or any other brand I have ever tried) refried black beans I have ever ate. I have tried every brand that I ever found, it this one just tastes odd, and I like the regular Amy's refried black beans. I think it is all the extra ingredients, specifically the green bell pepper and onion that give it such an odd sweet flavor, but I am not sure as I have never studied the ingredients before. Under lying that sweetness is just a bland, non existent, "watery" flavor that does nothing for me. I would have preferred a spicy flavor, so I have to add my own. I will not reorder.

We eat an average of two can's a week of the black refried beans. They are awesome!
