From Wikipedia, the electronic solver of disputes
"Ingredients and Preparation
Refried beans are prepared with either black or pinto beans. Once the beans have been prepared charola style (ie the raw beans are soaked overnight and then stewed) they are drained of most of the liquid remaining, made into a paste with the back of a large flat spoon and fried with lard or vegetable oil typically in a cast iron pot or skillet. Usually, onion, garlic and spices are sautéed in the oil before the beans are added. The recooked beans are then partially or completely mashed and bean or chicken stock is added if the consistency is too dry."

What's the arguement? Are the beans fried twice? "Re"fried beans?
If anyone needs to eat some to help settle this dispute, we've got some in the choir office. Yay for leftovers from socials.
