This Refried Bean Grilled Cheese has refried beans that have gotten an upgrade. I added onion, garlic, tomatoes, and taco spices.
Once you've had these refried beans, you won't want refried beans straight out of the can again!
This vegan grilled cheese is an easy meal. Dip it in salsa or enchilada sauce for more spice.
Use the refried beans in tacos, a burrito, or a vegan tortilla pizza to switch things up.
This Refried Bean Grilled Cheese is similar to a mollete, which is a Mexican open-faced sandwich with refried beans and cheese that is topped with jalapeño or serrano peppers.
Another vegan grilled cheese recipe to try is my Vegan Pizza Grilled Cheese recipe. You also might like my 3 Ingredient Refried Bean Soup.
❤️ Why You'll Love It
- It's the best of two cuisines. If a taco and a vegan grilled cheese sandwich had a baby, this would be it.
- It's quick and easy.
- It's perfect for dipping; dip it into your favorite salsa or enchilada sauce.
🧾 Ingredients
- Refried bean mixture: Made with onions, garlic, vegan cheddar, tomatoes, and spices. You could also use refried beans straight from the can, but I like to doctor them up.
- Vegan cheddar: I used Follow Your Heart vegan cheese. Use your favorite vegan cheese.
- Bread: Use your favorite squishy bread.
- Vegan mayo: For frying the grilled cheese. You could also use vegan butter if you prefer. I like Vegenaise by Follow Your Heart.

🔪 Instructions
Step 1: Spread the refried bean mixture onto one slice of bread and sprinkle shredded vegan cheddar onto the other slice. Sandwich them together.
Step 2: Spread vegan mayo on the outside of one of the slices of bread and place in a skillet mayo side down. Then, spread vegan mayo on the slice of bread facing you.
Step 3: Fry on both sides until golden brown.
🥡 Storage
Refried beans will last about 4 days. If you don't think you'll eat them up in that time, you can freeze them in a freezer bag for 1-2 months.
💭 Tips
- Make the refried beans ahead of time to make things easier.
- Make tacos or a Mexican pizza another night to switch things up.
- Cook the vegan grilled cheese in vegan mayo for a rich sandwich. Spread the vegan mayo on the outside of one of the slices, place it in the pan then spread on the other slice facing you. That way you don't get mayo all over your cutting board.
- For extra spice, dip the sandwich in your favorite salsa or enchilada sauce.
