Helpful Hints:

Meat foods help build and repair the body. Beans, nuts and peanuts are also part of the meat group. Pinto beans and black beans are the favorite ones used in making refried beans. The word “frijoles” means “beans” in Spanish.

Safety Tip:

Always wash the lids of canned foods before opening because germs can be hiding there. An important food safety rule is to clean the can opener each time it is used.

Remember to refrigerate any leftover bean dip.
