Now that school has started, schedules are crazy, which means that often times, my husband and my breakfast time is cut short. I am trying hard to get us both to eat well in the mornings, something packed with protein and filling, rather than reaching for a sugary pastry. We are both partial to breakfast sandwiches, so I decided to try making a bean patty, which would pack the flavor, the protein and the yum factor into our mornings!
Using Herdez® Instant Refried Beans, I can have a sandwich ready in 20 mins, which means, as the coffee is brewing, I am making my husband and I a great breakfast meal to kick start our day. How, you may be wondering? These NEW, delicious instant beans, are an Authentic Mexican brand, and they cook in 5 minutes! If that isn’t all, they come in a variety of flavors (Traditional, Jalapeno, Chorizo and Queso), so you can mix it up daily. Herdez® Instant Refried Beans delivers a restaurant quality experience with superior taste and texture in just minutes.
My favorite, is the Queso flavor, which is what I used to create this breakfast bagel. Check it out!
