I love to add a dollop of sour cream to my black beans with chorizo. It adds a nice creamy flavor to the dish.

This dish is a great way to use up leftover vegetables. I often add chopped onions, peppers, and corn to my black beans with chorizo.

I've also made this dish with ground beef instead of chorizo. It's a great way to change up the flavor of the dish.

I've made this dish with both canned and dried black beans, and both versions are delicious. I prefer to use dried black beans, because they have a more浓郁的豆子flavor. However, canned black beans are a great option if you're short on time.
