Frijoles refritos, or refried beans, are a traditional dish from Mexico. The beans are cooked until they are soft and then mashed with a fork or a potato masher. They are then fried in a pan with oil and spices. Frijoles refritos are typically served as a side dish, but they can also be used as a filling for tacos or burritos.
