Default Tell me about REFRIED BEANS

N.b. The correct spelling = frijoles refritos, which is masculine
plural.

In my opinion, the most accurate translation would be "thoroughly
fried beans." See the second definition below, indicating a large
amount of frying.

Refrito, ta: adj. Refried (frito de nuevo). Over fried (demasiado
frito). Fig. and fam., Rehash: Esta obra de teatro es un refrito,
this play is a rehash. (Larousse "DICCIONARIO MODERNO: español-inglés
inglés-español)
