    Honduran Frijoles refritos or refried beans is another staple food and part of the typical plate.  Both red beans and black beans are popular there.  This recipe is an easy version starting with canned red beans as opposed to soaking the beans and then cooking them until tender.  Of course you can do it that way if you prefer but it is nice to know you can whip these up using canned beans and reduce your prep time.  They were delicious and easy!  These are often served with tortilla chips and cheese for another lovely treat!
