Beans are better than any processed food, vegan or meaty.

Do you mean in a nutritional sense?

I personally do not prefer the taste of beans to the taste of shredded barbacoa.

Oh yes, forgot to mention that to cook delicious beans you need real cooking skills... I enjoy barbecue too, and I am sorry for those (many many here) unable to experiment other stuff. Innovating in cooking can also be a form of hacking.

Cooking really is an art. I cooked this the other day, it was one of the best things I've ever made. It was like a bean chilli but from heaven. Specially posting this for you!

I keep meaning to get Joe Yonan's Cool Beans: The Ultimate Guide to Cooking with the World's Most Versatile Plant-Based Protein, based on articles he's written (sorry, I'm on my phone, can't provide examples).

Cooking skills like adding a bunch of sugar or salt?

Exactly, that is what you need LOL

Refried beans are pretty great. Would take them over barbacoa most days of the week

Sure, as long as they are properly shelled. Bean pods are disgusting.

Beans are beans, and Bush beans are a somehow different story.
