Delicious! October 23, 2008

We had previously tried the Santa Fe fat-free dehydrated refried beans, and liked them a lot. So, we decided to give these a try too. Despite the fact that these are labeled "southwestern style," which sounds like these might contain some spices, this product contains only beans, salt, and partially hydrogenated corn oil. They are delicious! The small amount of oil gives them a bit of a creamier texture than the fat-free beans. Of course, partially hydrogenated oil is not the best thing in the world for the old arteries, so the fat-free version is probably a better choice for many people. (see link below)
These refried beans taste much better than the canned variety. One could easily pass them off to unsuspecting guests as being home made. Next time I make them, however, I will use a bit less water, as I prefer a slightly thicker consistency.
One nice thing about this product is that it comes packed in a zip-lock type bag, so it is easy to fix a smaller amount if an entire package is just too much.

From the time that I was a child, beans in different forms have been part of almost every meal. With more and more hectic schedules and less time to focus on cooking, it has been difficult to prepare beans - especially refried beans - as often as I would like. Enter Santa Fe Bean Co.'s product: Instant Southwestern Style Refried Beans! - These instant refried beans come in a convenient, sealed package. You can put them in the pantry or carry them easily when you travel. There is no danger of spills or messes because the packaging is excellent and the product is dry. Preparing the beans is quick and easy. No fancy cookware or additional products are needed. Within minutes you will have tasty, healthy refried beans that can compliment your meals. The flavor of the prepared product is genuine and scrumptious. Whenever you crave refried beans but are in a hurry, look to this product! I recommend Santa Fe Bean Co.'s Instat Southwestern Style Refried beans to anyone who loves beans, but doesn't have the time to start from scratch.
 Fantastic Alternative to Canned beans June 21, 2008

Ever since Mexicali Rose went out of business, I've been searching for a similar style bean and this is it. Santa Fe tastes good, has an excellent texture, is low in fat. And it cooks quite quickly!
Recommendation - Calls for 2.5 cups of water. Highly recommend going with less, say 1.5 cups to reduce cooking time, especially if you're like me and don't like your beans with a bit richer consistency.
I give it four stars as nothing tops the real restaurant (though restaurants vary quite a bit in quality)/home made refried beans.
The only other store bought alternative that tastes really good is Ducal refried black beans. It's fantastic, but there's a reason - lard - 17 grams of fat, so there's a sacrifice to make and Santa Fe is an excellent in-between choice and on Amazon, the price is great and it ships via prime to boot, so I can get it quickly when I run out.

These have excellent flavor. Experiment at home before taking them backpacking. Discovered they need much less water than recipe calls for if you want them thick for burritos. I would buy these again.
