Chorizo And Refried Bean Nachos Recipes

Steps:

• In a cast-iron or heavy-bottomed pan, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add the onions and cook until soft, about 5 minutes. Add the chorizo and garlic, breaking up the chorizo with a wooden spoon to resemble ground meat. Cook through. Add the refried beans with a little water, if necessary, to get a smooth, not-too-dry consistency, and stir to combine with the chorizo and onions.
• Make the tacos. Arrange the tortillas on a plate using two for each taco. Add the chorizo mixture, cheese, a few radish slices, a few cilantro leaves and a shake of hot sauce. Repeat for the remaining tortillas and filling.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Combine refried beans, garlic powder, onion powder, and cumin in a bowl; mix well.
• Pour tortilla chips onto a baking sheet in one layer. Spoon bean mixture over tortilla chips. Top with Colby-Monterey Jack cheese and jalapenos.
• Bake in the preheated oven until cheese is melted, about 5 minutes.

Steps:

• Finely chop the chorizo into small dice. In a heavy-bottomed pot add olive oil and chorizo. Put the pot over low heat and slowly bring the heat up to medium. Fry the chorizo for a few minutes to infuse the olive oil. Using a slotted spoon remove about 1/4 cup of chorizo, for garnish, and set aside. To the remaining chorizo in the pot add the onion and garlic and fry until both are cooked, about 2 minutes. Add the beans with their liquid and stock and simmer to allow the flavors to come together about 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Use a potato masher to mash the beans into a coarse puree. Alternatively, you could let the beans cool for about 5 minutes and carefully puree in a food processor until smooth. Transfer to a serving bowl.

Steps:

• Prepare the tortilla chips, if using homemade. Then, in a medium nonstick skillet, cook the chorizo over medium heat until brown, 4 to 5 minutes. Add the onion and cook until the onion softens, about 3 minutes. To assemble, layer the chips equally with beans, chorizo, and guacamole. Put a dollop of salsa on top. Serve warm.
