Ingredients

The ingredients are:
  • 1 pound Mexican Chorizo, casings removed
  • 4 cups freshly cooked Pinto beans
  • 1 cup reserved bean liquid, divided use
We recommend you get your ingredients ready before you start cooking. Once you're ready, here are the steps to making this delicious recipe

How to Make

  • Step 1: In a large skillet, cook the chorizo until fully cooked, about 5 minutes. Reserve about 2 tablespoons of chorizo oil in the skillet. Remove the rest of the oil.

  • Step 2: Using a slotted spoon, add the cooked pinto beans to the skillet. Add about 3/4 cup of the cooking liquid.

  • Step 3: Using a potato masher, mash the beans to the texture you like. Add more liquid, if necessary. Don't overcook, as it will dry out. You want a creamy texture.

  • Step 4: Serve on tostadas or as a creamy side, with a dollop of Mexican crema or sour cream and some salsa.
