San Miguel Microwave Mexican Black Beans — 16g Protein Pouch

Product description

Authentic, seasoned black beans finished with avocado oil: This product is a pre-cooked pouch of Mexican-style black beans slow-simmered with onions, garlic, green bell pepper and a proprietary blend of spices, finished with avocado oil to round out the texture and flavor.

Heat-and-serve convenience: Each pouch is fully cooked and designed to be warmed in the microwave in about 90 seconds or gently heated on the stovetop. The sealed pouch makes it simple to take along for work, travel, camping or quick home meals, eliminating long prep times.

Plant-based and diet-friendly: The recipe is vegan, gluten-free and made from non-GMO ingredients. Serving nutrition supports active lifestyles with a notable amount of plant protein (about 16 g per serving) and dietary fiber while remaining low in saturated fat and cholesterol-free.

Versatile pantry ingredient: Use these black beans as a flavorful side, a filling for tacos and burritos, mixed into rice bowls, tossed with salads or blended into dips and enchilada fillings. Their seasoned profile makes them a useful building block for many Mexican-inspired dishes.

About the maker: San Miguel de Origen is a family-inspired brand focused on ready-to-eat foods that reflect Mexican culinary traditions. Products are crafted from selected ingredients to balance authentic flavors with everyday convenience and nutritious value.

Pros

  • True Mexican-style seasoning with avocado oil finish
  • Ready in about 90 seconds—microwave or stovetop
  • Vegan, non-GMO, high in plant protein and fiber

Cons

  • Single-use pouch generates packaging waste
  • May be saltier than homemade preparations
  • Texture may be softer than freshly cooked beans

VerdictThese ready-to-heat black beans deliver bold, home-style Mexican taste with the convenience of a microwave pouch. They’re a quick, nutritious option for busy meals—high in plant protein and fiber, vegan and non-GMO—ideal as a side or a base for bowls and tacos.

    Only One Pouch Arrived

    I purchased a six-pack but only received a single pouch. The beans tasted fine, but getting just one instead of six felt unacceptable given the cost.
