refritos
Mexican bean preparation
Refritos is Spanish for refried beans—cooked pinto or black beans mashed and fried in fat, a staple of Mexican and Tex-Mex cuisine.
The word literally means "well-fried" rather than "fried again," though the beans are often reheated.
In English contexts, refritos usually appears on menus or in recipes: served with rice and refritos.
