Chorizo Black Beans

Chorizo Black Beans have tons of smoky, spicy flavor and are a great accompaniment to any Mexican meal. Ground chorizo sausage and bacon give these beans lots of meaty flavor.

They’re further flavored with onion, garlic, beer, oregano, cumin, and cilantro. I don’t like bland beans so I like to add lots of layers of flavors.

I use canned black beans to cut own on prep time and cooking time. These beans can be made start to finish in under 20 minutes.

Chorizo sausage has become one of my favorite ingredients to cook with. It’s perfect for spicy food lovers. Try it in this Mexican Chorizo Rice recipe too.
