A filling, warm dish of chorizo and beans. Plenty of garlic and cumin makes it so flavorful. For even more protein and a rich yolk, top with a poached egg.

This bean dish has a little bit of a spicy twist. There is more Mexican chorizo than beans, but you could reverse that. There’s is not much you could do wrong with it, so improvise. I was inspired to make it after being given some Mexican Chorizo. If you have never had real Mexican Chorizo then you are definately missing out. It is spicy and crumbly and can be added to anything that needs a big hit of flavour and texture.
