refry
Heat in oil again
To refry is to fry something again, most commonly beans that have already been cooked.
Refried beans—a staple of Mexican cuisine—are typically boiled, then mashed and fried in fat: I'll refry the leftover beans for breakfast.
The term occasionally appears for reheating other fried foods.
