Refried beans (from Spanish: frijoles refritos, lit. 'rehashed or warmed-over beans') is a dish of cooked and mashed beans that is a traditional staple of Mexican[1] and Tex-Mex cuisine, although each cuisine has a different approach when making the dish. Refried beans are also popular in many other Latin American countries. The English "refried beans" is a mistranslation, since the essence of "frijoles refritos" is the reheating and mashing of the beans.
