refried beans

Cooked pinto or black beans, mashed and fried in lard or oil into a creamy paste.

Canned refried beans are sold in most supermarkets in the Mexican or international aisle, and online otherwise.

Substitute:

They are easy to make at home by frying drained canned pinto, black or kidney beans with a little onion in lard or oil and mashing them. Lard gives a rounder, more savoury flavour than oil.
