Ingredients
Cooking Instructions
step 1
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C).
step 2
In a heavy bottom pan over medium-high heat, cook the Chorizo (6 oz) until browned and crumble the pieces as you go, about 3 minutes.
step 3
Stir in the Onion (1/2) and Jalapeño Pepper (1) and sauté until they become translucent and browned, approximately 3 minutes.
step 4
Add Garlic (2 cloves), Taco Seasoning (2 Tbsp), and Salt (1 tsp). Cook until fragrant, about 2 more minutes.
step 5
Then, add in Tomato Paste (1/3 cup) and cook out for 1 minute to deepen the color. This needs to be cooked out or you will have a raw tomato taste.
step 6
Mix in the Brown Sugar (4 Tbsp), Molasses (1 Tbsp), and Apple Cider Vinegar (4 Tbsp) and ensure the sugar has melted through; about 3-4 minutes.
step 7
Add the Black Beans (2 cans) and Water (1 cup). Stir to incorporate.
step 8
Put the pot into the oven uncovered and bake until the liquid has thickened and evaporated a little, about 10-15 minutes.
step 9
Stir in fresh Lime Juice (1) and sprinkle Fresh Cilantro (4 Tbsp) on top. Serve with Tortilla Chips (to taste) if desired.
