- Mix the 1 tablespoon of vegan mayo and fresh lime juice together and toss the cabbage/ red onion with this mix. Set it aside.
To make the Refried Beans:
- Add your spicy refried beans to a skillet over medium heat and mix with 1/2 of the spice mix. Heat, stirring frequently until warm about 5 minutes.
