But can't you also make refried beans with black beans? This is stated on the Wiki refried beans page (Refried beans are prepared with either black or pinto beans). Therefore you can have refried beans without pinto beans.

Why yes you can  :) My ex father in law was Hispanic and they used either or.

Anyway this is the last time I am posting to this thread.

Sorry I find it amusing that some of you are freaking out because I wanted to make some burritos.
*Yank or Yankee is one of the lesser derogatory slang terms for any American, whether from New England or not.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yankee
*The Oxford English Dictionary states that one of the earliest theories on the word derivation is from the Cherokee word "eankke" for coward as applied to the residents of New England.

You don't hear me calling you a bloody brit, so don't call me a yank!

Perhaps they are used as something to get by, but the fact is that you don't have to freak out about someone wanting to get some pinto beans.

Nor do you have to freak out and whine because someone doesn't like it that you call them this, that or the other.
I believe, at least when this started, people were attempting to clarify what you were looking for in order to provide you with better assistance.

I'm just wondering how the discussion went in this direction. :)

dontcallmeyank, this thread is gonna be looked at by other people. We're simply trying to provide complete information in it and avoid confusion. So that people looking for refried beans in the future, don't accidentally buy a can of pinto (or black) beans instead, expecting them to be the same thing.

That's all.
And if you threw a party
Invited everyone you knew
You would see the biggest gift would be from me
And the card attached would say
"Thank you for being a friend!"

I'm thinking you may be right.

Reading this after working night shift last night and not sleeping much today is making my head spin.  Now you know where to buy the beans. Just buy them, do what ever you want with them and let go.  Come on, they are just beans.  (pinto if you prefer)

Ah peedal.. I'm so glad you're back around these parts.  :) Otherwise, we'd all think pinto beans were the same as refried beans!  
Love your life, poor as it is. You may perhaps have some pleasant, thrilling, glorious hours, even in a poorhouse. The setting sun is reflected from the windows of the almshouse as brightly as from the rich man’s abode; the snow melts before its doors as early in the spring. Cultivate property like a garden herb, like sage. Do not trouble yourself much to get new things, whether clothes or friends. Turn the old; return to them. Things do not change; we change. Sell your clothes and keep your thoughts…
