Frijoles Puercos
Description
This recipe begins by rendering vegetable shortening and cooking beef chorizo until nearly crispy. Cooked beans are blended with chipotle chiles in adobo sauce, creating a smoky puree. The chorizo is then combined with the bean mixture, incorporating its rendered fat and spice.
Shredded queso Oaxaca is stirred in until melted, introducing creamy, stringy texture. Pickled jalapeños, along with their juice, add a vinegary heat. The mixture simmers briefly to integrate flavors before serving.
Frijoles Puercos can be served hot as a bean dip for tortilla chips or as a flavorful side dish. The cheese and chorizo add richness and depth to the smooth, smoky beans.
This dish stores well refrigerated for up to one week and freezes well for up to three months in small portions.
