Frijoles con chorizo<\/em><\/strong> is the ultimate comfort food. It\u2019s packed with bold, smoky flavors from seasoned sausage and creamy beans, with just enough spice to have your taste buds tingling. It\u2019s ideal for feeding a crowd or digging into as a late-night snack!<\/em><\/p>\n

Frijoles con chorizo is one of my favorite comfort food dishes. It pairs smoky (but spicy!) chorizo with <\/em>melt-in-the-mouth pinto beans. The result is a total flavor explosion that transports you straight to Tijuana (where I first experienced it with rice and lobster tacos).<\/p>\n

The beans and chorizo get a hefty kick of spice from ancho chili and paprika. But the undercover star is a tangy splash of red wine vinegar that gives the entire bowl some zing.<\/p>\n

And don\u2019t even get me started on the texture! This dish is perfect on everything from breakfast tacos to simple flour tortillas. Stuff some of my Jalapeno Cheddar Biscuits<\/a> for a Mexican-style Sloppy Joe<\/a>! Throw on a dash of salsa taquera<\/a>, and we\u2019re really cooking!<\/p>\n

And honestly, this beans with chorizo recipe is just so easy to prepare. It\u2019s a slight labor of love with the marinade, but that time in the fridge will pay off in spades.<\/p>\n

2:1 Ratio<\/h2>\n

For these frijoles con chorizo I like to have the ratio of chorizo and beans be 2:1.
We are cooking 16 ounces (1 pound) of the chorizo, but using it all<\/strong>. As for the beans: 16 ounces (1 pound) of dry pinto beans expands when cooked to about 6 cups. We are going to use 3 cups in this recipe<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
