Those are probably re-hydrated beans. Ducal is a popular brand
You cook beans, then fry them. Let them cool down and fry them again. It’s in the name “refried” beans
Just add more water than you currently are when you blend them
You probably already know this but they were almost certainly black beans, not pintos. It’s apparently a thing in Oaxaca.
Looks like [Frijol Colado](https://www.mexicoenmicocina.com/frijol-colado-yucatan/) (popular in Yucatan & Quintana Roo)
