The name is based on a mistranslation[1]. In Mexican Spanish, the prefix re- is a form of emphasis meaning "very" or "well," not to be confused with the English prefix re-, which indicates repetition. Thus, frijoles refritos, the Spanish name of this dish, would translate to English as "well-fried beans," not "twice-fried beans."
