Why fry then re-fry beans?
Clearly, hummus is not fried.
It can be simply chickpeas, garlic, lemon all ground together.
Add tahini, olive oil, salt, pepper and cayenne if you choose. (These will increase the caloric content.)
Likewise, you can make a lower Calorie version of refried beans.
Food process pinto beans with salsa and cumin.
The taste will be fresher.
The fat, less.
The Calories, fewer.
You can add-in herbs (e.g., basil, cilantro), heat (e.g., more or different hot peppers), nuts, additional veggies, substitute different salsas (e.g., mango), etc.
And in the summer, there is no need to turn on the stove.
Cool.
