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.
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.
