Ingredients

The following ingredients have 6 Servings
  • 1 12 ounce beef or pork chorizo
  • 1 medium Serrano pepper ((minced))
  • 2 canned chipotle peppers
  • 2 cloves garlic ((minced))
  • 2 16 ounce canned refried beans
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Instruction

  • Remove chorizo sausage from its casing and fry it in a saucepan until all the fat is rendered.  Scoop the chorizo out of the pan and drain 75% of the fat. If you don't mind the extra calories, you don't need to drain the fat.
  • Chop chipotle peppers, Serrano, and garlic. Add to the pan and sauté for a few minutes over medium heat. Add the chorizo back to the pan and stir for an additional minute.
  • Next, add refried beans and mix to combine. For a smoother texture, mash the beans with a potato masher. Simmer bean mixture, over low heat, for five to ten minutes, stirring occasionally. Add shredded cheese, turn off the heat, and cover the pan until the cheese melts. Serve while hot.
