refried beans — Mexico

Frijoles refritos ('refried beans' in Spanish) are one of the basic dishes of Mexican and Tex-Mex cuisine. They are prepared with dry bean grains (depending on the region: black, red, white, pinto, or pinquito beans), cooked then reduced to a salty puree, seasoned and mixed with minced onion and garlic. This puree is then fried in a pan with oil or lard.
Frijoles refritos have a dense consistency and serve as a filling for various popular dishes accompanied by tortillas. They are an essential ingredient in tacos, tostadas, tlacoyos, molletes, sopes, and huaraches.
