Tip: Vegetarian refried
beans (also called low-fat or fat-free beans) are made without
lard, the traditional ingredient in authentic refried beans.
Check labels, but most brands of vegetarian refried beans contain
no fat or are low fat. Because the bean mixture is compact in
the can, you may want to stir them before use so they are creamier.
*Substitute 4 (8-inch)
plain flour tortillas.
