Frijoles refritos, nothing special, just fantastic Mexican home cooking.
These are one of the pillars of Mexican cuisine.
Whether alone in a bowl topped with queso Cotija, the ubiquitous Bean/Cheese burrito or classically paired with rice and an entree, they're so good you'll be back for more.

Frijoles Refritos aka Refried Beans
Drain 4C of cooked pinto beans.
Add a about a 1/4c of bacon grease and the beans in a cast iron skillet.
Bring to simmer and mash well, cook to desired consistency, add some liquid if they get too thick.
Best damned Frijoles Refritos you'll ever have.
