Vegetarian refried beans - are they allowed? Which Phases?
I'm trying to find a good "meal for one" dinner for myself for tonight. I have some vegetarian refried beans that I was going to have with a little 2% cheddar cheese on them. Is that Phase 1- friendly?
The ingredients in the beans are:
cooked beans
water
less than 2% of the following:
canola oil
salt
distilled vinegar
chile pepper
onion powder
spices
garlic powder
natural flavor
The NI is (per 1/2 cup serving):

If anyone knows, that would be great! They aren't on either the Foods to Enjoy or Foods to Avoid lists...but since all the ingredients are on the Foods to Enjoy list, does that make it Phase 1-friendly?
Enjoy your supper, your refried beans look fine to me. If you want to save a little on calories, tried to find fat-free refried beans the next time you are shopping.
Thanks cottagebythesea! I figured that since the ingredients were all on the okay list, they were probably fine. I ate them for dinner last night, actually, and they were delish! I will look for the fat-free ones next time. These were all I had in the pantry.
