Technically no. The pinto beans are boiled to cook them, then fried with lard to create the consistency and dry them out.

Hence the name. No, actually, they're just "well cooked" as opposed to "fried twice".

I think they're fried only once

No - but you can fry and then re-fry them if you want to.

If they weren't, do you think they would call them that?
