Add the onions to the pan with the chorizo fat. Saute until the onions are translucent, about 4 minutes. Return the chorizo to the pan. Add the refried beans to the mixture. Continue cooking for about 5 minutes. Turn the heat off and reserve for tostadas and burritos.
CHORIZO REFRIED BEANS
Steps:
- Finely chop the chorizo into small dice. In a heavy-bottomed pot add olive oil and chorizo. Put the pot over low heat and slowly bring the heat up to medium. Fry the chorizo for a few minutes to infuse the olive oil. Using a slotted spoon remove about 1/4 cup of chorizo, for garnish, and set aside. To the remaining chorizo in the pot add the onion and garlic and fry until both are cooked, about 2 minutes. Add the beans with their liquid and stock and simmer to allow the flavors to come together about 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Use a potato masher to mash the beans into a coarse puree. Alternatively, you could let the beans cool for about 5 minutes and carefully puree in a food processor until smooth. Transfer to a serving bowl.
CHICKPEAS AND CHORIZO
Garbanzo beans, or chickpeas, and chorizo is a classic Spanish dish sometimes served as tapas and sometimes as a full stew. This recipe adds potatoes to make a it little more hearty as a full meal. Serve with a citrus and fennel salad and some crusty bread for a full meal. I like to leave the garlic cloves whole as above and spread the cloves on the bread during meal. If you don't, then reduce garlic but chop and don't add until after liquid has been added or it may scorch.

Steps:
- Put garbanzo beans into a large container; add enough cool water to cover by several inches. Soak beans 8 hours to overnight. Drain and rinse before using.
- Set oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
- Halve both the red bell pepper and green bell pepper from top to bottom. Remove and discard the stem, seeds, and ribs. Arrange pepper halves with cut sides down onto the prepared baking sheet.
- Roast peppers under the preheated broiler until their skins have blackened and blistered, 5 to 8 minutes; transfer to a bowl and tightly seal bowl with plastic wrap to steam the peppers as they cool until the skins are loosened, about 20 minutes. Remove and discard skins. Slice peppers.
- Heat canola oil in a pot over medium heat. Cook and stir potatoes in hot oil until browned, about 10 minutes; add chorizo and continue to cook and stir until chorizo is hot, 3 to 5 minutes more. Stir peppers, onion, garlic cloves, paprika, and salt into the potato mixture; cook, stirring infrequently, until the onion softens, about 10 minutes more.
- Stir soaked garbanzo beans into the mixture. Pour sherry over everything. Bring the mixture to a simmer, reduce heat to medium-low, place a cover on the pot, and cook at a simmer until the beans are tender, 10 to 15 minutes.

SLOW-COOKER BAKED BEANS WITH CHORIZO AND LIME
Beans stewed with pork, tomato and something sweet is a traditional side dish at potlucks. This easy slow-cooker version is uncommonly kicky and bright, flavored with spiced Mexican-style chorizo, cilantro and lots of lime juice. Use cooked, smoked or cured chorizo, but don't use dry-cured Spanish-style chorizo, which is a different kind of sausage altogether. There's flexibility built into this recipe: If you like slightly sweet baked beans, use the larger amount of sugar. If you prefer a result that's barely sweet, use the smaller amount. Likewise, the lime juice can be assertive or gentle, so use the larger or smaller amount to your taste. You may be tempted to add more liquid to the slow cooker, but resist the urge. The onion and sausage release liquid when cooking, so if you add more you will end up with bean soup instead of baked beans.

Steps:
- In a 6- to 8-quart slow cooker, combine the soaked beans, chorizo, onion, garlic, chicken broth, tomato purée, sugar, butter, tomato paste, onion and garlic powders, red-pepper flakes, cumin and paprika. Season with 1 1/2 teaspoons salt (or 2 1/2 teaspoons if using unsalted stock) and a generous amount of black pepper. Using a spatula, stir well to combine, then smooth the top of the mixture to submerge as many beans as possible. (It's OK if some poke out of the liquid.) Cover and cook on high until the beans are very tender, about 6 hours.
- Stir in the lime juice and cilantro. Taste, and add more salt or pepper if desired. Serve with hot sauce.
Tips:
- Choose the right chorizo: Use Mexican chorizo, which is a fresh sausage made with pork, chili peppers, and spices. It has a distinctive red color and a slightly spicy flavor.
- Cook the chorizo thoroughly: Chorizo should be cooked until it is no longer pink in the center. This will help to kill any bacteria and ensure that the sausage is safe to eat.
- Drain the chorizo: Once the chorizo is cooked, drain it on paper towels to remove excess grease.
- Use a variety of beans: This recipe uses a combination of black beans and pinto beans, but you can use any type of bean that you like. Some other good options include kidney beans, navy beans, and Great Northern beans.
- Add vegetables: Vegetables such as corn, zucchini, and bell peppers can add flavor and nutrition to the dish. You can also add diced tomatoes or a can of diced tomatoes with green chiles.
- Season the dish to taste: Add salt, pepper, cumin, and chili powder to taste. You can also add a bay leaf or two for extra flavor.
- Serve with your favorite toppings: Some popular toppings for Mexican chorizo and beans include shredded cheese, sour cream, guacamole, and salsa.
Conclusion:
Mexican chorizo and beans is a flavorful and satisfying dish that is perfect for a quick and easy meal. It is also a great way to use up leftover chorizo. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a delicious and hearty dish that the whole family will enjoy.
