Chorizo Refried Beans

This recipe, courtesy of Tyler Florence, marries the spice of chorizo and the heartiness of refried beans. (Recipe prepared by Hispanic Kitchen member Carolyn Swaney.)

Yields 8 servings

Ingredients:
1 chorizo link
¼ white onion, finely diced
2 cloves garlic, peeled and chopped
2 (15.5 ounce) cans red kidney beans or 3½ cups prepared beans
1 to 2 cups low-sodium chicken stock
salt and black pepper

Directions:
1. Remove chorizo from casing into a preheated pot over low heat. Slowly bring the heat up to medium. Fry the chorizo for a few minutes.
2. Add the onion and garlic and fry until both are cooked, about 2 minutes.
3. Add the beans with their liquid and stock and simmer to allow the flavors to come together about 10 minutes.
4. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Use a potato masher to mash the beans into a coarse puree.
