how many times are you frying those beans? i hear "re-fried" but i wonder if they are fried once if that is good enough
never made my own refried beans
You cook em in a slow cooker and then you fry them in an oiled pan similar to fried rice. Since you fry them after you cook them I'm assuming that's why they're called "refried". If you use beans from a can you can just do the frying part. My mom has always bought dry beans so that's why I always assumed the name came from cooking them twice
iirc it’s a slight mistranslation of the original Spanish term and it does just mean “twice cooked” but everyone just goes along with the English term because it’s too late to go back now
oh that sounds easy then
