Refried Beans
Refried beans (from es, frijoles refritos, ) is a dish of cooked and mashed beans that is a traditional staple of Mexican and Tex-Mex cuisine, although each cuisine has a different approach when making the dish. Refried beans are also popular in many other Latin American countries. In this dish, after being boiled and then mashed into a paste, the beans are fried or baked, though as they are fried only once, the term "''re''fried" is misleading. As described by Rick Bayless, "they're ''refritos''—not fried ''again'', as you might assume, but 'well fried' or 'intensely fried.'" Ingredients and preparation In northern Mexico and Tex-Mex cuisine, refried beans are usually prepared with pinto beans, but many other varieties of bean are used in other parts of Mexico, such as black, Peruano, or red kidney beans. The raw beans can be cooked when dry or soaked overnight, then stewed, drained of most of the remaining liquid, and converted into a paste with a masher (such as a pota ...

The Pueblo of Zuni is south of Gallup, New Mexico. The Zuni tribe lived in multi level adobe houses.
