This delicious vegan black refried beans with a spooky twist recipe takes just 40 minutes to make. Spiderweb refrito with vegan sour cream!

Vegan | Gluten-free | Soy-free

As a Puerto Rican, there’s a special place in my heart for beans, of all kinds! We truly do use them in almost every meal. But who can blame us? Beans are such an affordable and nutritious staples, as well as vegan-friendly and a very good source of protein. 

One of my favorite versions of beans is refried beans. I love Mexican food a lot; so much that I once traveled over a 4-day period to CDMX just to eat and visit museums! After that trip, I dream every day of going back to do the exact same. Until that happens, homemade Mexican recipes will have to do. 

I came up with this homemade & vegan version of the famous refried beans, but with a spooky spiderweb design made out of vegan sour cream. Creamy, thick, and chunky from time to time, these beans will make you forget about the prepared can of refried beans, and it can be used to make all kinds of recipes like tacos, Cielito Lindo, enfrijoladas, or serve as a spooky Halloween dip with your favorite chips & veggies.

Notes:

• Even though this recipe calls for black beans, you can use any other beans you have available. Just have in mind that the color will be different.
