Spicy Pinto Beans

June 9, 2015 by Great Grub, Delicious Treats

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

Here is a healthier version of my spicy pinto beans recipe. I have always made pinto beans with ham hocks or bacon, and now these little babies are totally on the healthier side. Whole foods, and plant-based recipes are so tasty and super healthy for you. Just the benefits of giving up processed foods, and all the other junk we consumed on a daily basis, to eating healthy, is amazing! Beans do have a high content of fat, but they are loaded with nutrients that are healthy for you.

Spicy Pinto BeansThere is so many things that can be made with these beans. Adding jalapenos and different spicy peppers gives these pinto beans great flavor. Making a big pot of beans, and then using them throughout the week on different meal plans, is ideal. We make burritos, tostadas, and even roll them up into taquitos. You can buy vegan cheese to add to these as well. We have really learned to eat without any “cheese.”
