Categories     Main Course

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 9

30 oz black beans (drained and rinsed)
2 cups tomatoes (rough chop)
1 cup red onion (finely diced)
1 cup cilantro (de-stemmed, rough chop)
3 limes (juiced)
1/2 - 1 tsp kosher salt
2 lb pork chorizo
15 corn tortillas
avocado for garnish

Steps:

  • Drain black beans and rinse off excess salt. Add to a medium mixing bowl.
  • Chop tomatoes, red onion, and cilantro. Add to mixing bowl. Top with lime juice and kosher salt. Stir to combine.
  • You can eat the pico de gallo right away, but it's best if it sits in the refrigerator for 1 - 2 hours.
  • Heat a large skillet over medium heat for 1 - 2 minutes.
  • Add the chorizo to the skillet. As it cooks, begin breaking it up into small, bite-sized pieces using a spatula. Use a splatter screen to prevent excess fat from escaping the skillet.
  • Chorizo needs to cook for 8 - 10 minutes. It will turn a slightly darker red, and the fat will be rendered from the pork.
  • Heat corn tortillas over a low, open flame on the gas stove. Allow a slight char to form on the tortilla (approximately 10 - 20 seconds on each side).
  • Scoop about one ounce of chorizo on the corn tortilla.
  • Add your pico de gallo and avocado slice for garnish, along with any other toppings.

Time 20m

Yield 6 tacos

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 tablespoons vegetable oil
1/2 cup chopped onions
8 ounces Mexican chorizo, casing removed and discarded
1 clove garlic, grated on a rasp
One 16-ounce can refried beans with green chiles
Eight to twelve 6-inch flour tortillas, kept warm in the oven
2 cups shredded Cheddar-Monterey Jack blend
4 radishes, thinly sliced
1/2 cup fresh cilantro leaves
2 to 3 tablespoons hot sauce, such as Cholula

Steps:

  • In a cast-iron or heavy-bottomed pan, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add the onions and cook until soft, about 5 minutes. Add the chorizo and garlic, breaking up the chorizo with a wooden spoon to resemble ground meat. Cook through. Add the refried beans with a little water, if necessary, to get a smooth, not-too-dry consistency, and stir to combine with the chorizo and onions.
