    Smoky Chorizo and Chorizo Dip


    Source of Recipe


    Internet

    List of Ingredients




    1 tablespoon olive oil
    4 ounces finely chopped chorizo sausage
    1 medium onion, chopped
    1 small red bell pepper, seeded and chopped
    1 garlic clove, minced
    1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
    1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
    Two 15 1/2 to 19-ounce cans pinto beans
    1 canned chipotle chile en adobo, minced
    Salt, to taste
    1/2 cup sour cream, for garnish
    Chopped cilantro, for garnish

    Recipe



    Combine the chorizo and oil in a medium skillet. Cook over medium heat, stirring often, until the chorizo is browned, about 7 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the chorizo to paper towels, leaving the fat in the pan.

    Add the onion and red pepper to the skillet. Cook over medium heat, stirring often, until the red pepper is tender, about 6 minutes. Add the garlic, oregano, and cumin and stir until the garlic is fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the beans with their canning liquid and the chipotle pepper. Bring to a simmer, stirring often. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes.

    Transfer 1 cup of bean mixture to food processor and puree. Stir back into skillet, with the cooled chorizo. Transfer to a medium bowl and cool. Season with salt. Cover and refrigerate until chilled, at least 2 hours and up to 2 days. (If the chilled dip is too thick, stir in some water or broth.)

    To serve, transfer to a serving bowl. Top with the sour cream and sprinkle with the cilantro. Serve chilled or at room temperature.

    What to Dip
    Tortilla chips
