They're used in Mexican food.

You can serve them as a side dish or wrap them in a tortilla.

Refried beans have not been refried, as the name suggests!
One of the best ways to serve is make them part of a heaping platter iof Nachos...
You'll need a bag of tortilla chips, 1 large onion, diced, the frijoles. about a pound of ground beef. fried, two small cans of green chiles, a can of sliced black olives, a couple of cups of any good medium salso (preferably a chunky style) and lots of shredded cheddar and Monterey Jack cheese (Pepper Jack or even Mozzarella will work).
On a large baking tin, alternate layers of the chips and other ingredients, ending with a goodly amount of the cheese. Place in a 350 degree (F) oven (you can do them in the micro wave, but I think this makes them a little soggy), just until the edges start to brown and the cheese is well melted. Serve with sour cream and Guacamole on top.... Ummmm, Bueno!...
Easiest thing is burrittos! Get some tortilla wraps, add refried beans, Mexican sauce, cheese and a dash of lime juice. Roll em up, pop in the microwave for a few seconds- voila! Yummy!
