The 150 year Ortega tradition all started with Maria Conception Jacinta Dominguez Ortega, or as we like to call her, Mama. Mama Ortega. Mama’s memorable cooking did more than just bring her family together. It was in Mama’s kitchen that her 11th child, Emilio, established the Ortega Chile Packing Company. Emilio’s fascination with chiles began when he moved to New Mexico in 1890. Here he encountered the state’s popular big red chiles. When he returned home to California a few years later, he brought with him chile pepper seeds and many recipes for dishes he had grown to love while in New Mexico. Back home with his family at their adobe house in Ventura, California, Emilio planted the chile seeds. Those chiles grew extremely well in the temperature climate of Ventura. Soon Emilio had so many chiles he had to give them away. Everyone loved them! That’s when he knew he had something special. In 2003, B&G Foods purchased the Ortega brand. Like Emilio Ortega, B&G Foods has a long tradition of commitment to quality. So today, when a family picks up a can of chiles or a box of taco shells, they know they are getting the very best. This web site has been created to continue the rich heritage of the Ortega family. By sharing our collection of delicious Mexican recipes, we hope to help you create fond memories of great meals shared with your family.

I personally recommend buying this Ortega refried beans fat free on Amazon store & seller B&g foods. This Mexican beans make a nice product like a emergency ration for bad weather or a busy life style. You’re truly Edward Rivera

Shoddy. Tin arrived in a large otherwise empty cardboard box, so bashed it was impossible to open with a can opener. Might have been a nice product, guess I’ll never know.

The first can of Ortega Refried Pinto Beans I opened was rather unfiberous, but all of the remaining 11 cans have been delicious and satisfactory as far as fiber content.

These are the best tasting canned refried beans I have been able to find…..and they are hard to find in the store where I live so I’m glad I can order them on Amazon.

I don’t understand all the good reviews. Did I just get a bad batch? These are way, way, way, way, way too salty. Ridiculous.

I love these beans. Cheaper by the case than what I can get locally for a similar product.

I keep a long term, and emergency food storage supply on hand. Great for bugging out, saves money, and helps me avoid trips to the grocery store.
