What are the tastiest beans?

tbh most beans are very bland and similar, the taste will be coming from the spices and other ingredients used. Texture will vary great, not only among types of beans but also cooking methods. You can bake chickpeas to become crisp on the outside and soft in the middle like a roasted potato, or eat it soft in a salad, or blend it into hummus.

What beans do I personally cook with most?

Chickpeas and soybeans if that counts

Refried beans are just stewed/blended beans usually with a bit of fat and spices. Most grocery stores have vegan refried beans in cans, which are ok in a pinch but could use some spice. They’re usually served as a side at Mexican restaurants with rice.

Roasted chickpeas: take canned or cooked chickpeas, add some salt or tamari or miso, add some spices, lightly oil a baking sheet and cook at 425 for 40 minutes.

Replace chickpeas with diced tofu, go up to 50 minutes as desired for simple roasted tofu.

daal recipes are pretty easy, just look one up

Any “rice and beans” type recipe, usually you want a grain, beans, garlic, onion, some tomato. Recently made a Black bean and quinoa salad like that and it slaps. Just look up recipes.
