Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 400 grams chorizo sausage
- 1 medium red onion
- 1 medium red bell pepper
- 2 medium jalapeños
- 3 large garlic cloves
- 400 grams canned diced tomatoes
- 400 grams canned black beans
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 150 grams shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.5 bunch fresh cilantro
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
Instructions
Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large, oven-safe skillet over medium heat.
Remove the casing from the chorizo sausage and crumble it into the skillet. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until fully browned. Use a slotted spoon to remove the chorizo and set it aside on a plate.
In the same skillet, add the diced red onion and red bell pepper. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened.
Add the sliced jalapeños and minced garlic to the skillet. Stir for 1-2 minutes, allowing the garlic to become fragrant.
Stir in the smoked paprika, ground cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Let the spices toast for 30 seconds.
Add the canned diced tomatoes (with their juice) and black beans (drained and rinsed) to the skillet. Stir everything together.
Return the cooked chorizo to the skillet, combining it with the tomato and black bean mixture. Let the mixture simmer for 10 minutes over medium-low heat, allowing the flavors to meld.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top of the mixture. Place the skillet under the broiler for 2-4 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted and bubbling.
Remove the skillet from the oven and garnish with chopped fresh cilantro.
Serve hot, directly from the skillet, with tortilla chips, warm tortillas, or rice on the side for a complete meal.
