CONT

[...] les Mexicains ont appris à préparer les haricots frits comme suit: on les fait cuire d'abord à l'eau et, quand ils sont tendres, on les écrase et on fait sauter [d'où le terme refry] au saindoux la pâte ainsi obtenue. [...] Ce plat, dont le nom espagnol est frijoles refritos, est très courant aussi bien dans la cuisine domestique que dans celle des restaurants mexicains.
