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.

Vegan | Nut-free

The Halloween countdown is on! Do you have your costume yet? I’m going as Dr. Azumi Fujita from Maniac! Let me know what you’re going as in the comments.

Welcome to the last Halloween recipe of my Holiday Series! This recipe is my simplest yet. While I’m by no means an expert at making creative festive foods, these pizzas are really easy & fun to make with the entire family. 

How to: First you’ll need some pita bread (make sure that it’s vegan). Then some marinara sauce, black olives, and some vegan mozzarella. You can either use vegan mozzarella slices or the shredded kind. Spread about a spoonful of marinara sauce onto each of the pitas. Place 2 sliced olives on each of the pitas, like eyes. Then for the bandages, you’ll use the cheese; assemble the pieces to give the pizzas the perfect bandaged mummy look. Bake in the oven for 15 minutes & done!
