Mexican Chorizo Chili con Carne (Frijoles Enchilados)
Report
My Mexican Chili con Carne recipe is loaded with ground beef, flavorful chorizo, and lots of beans for a delightfully comforting meal. This hearty and economical chorizo chili, also known as Frijoles Enchilados, is a quintessential cold-weather dish ideal for serving on game day. It also comes together in just 30 minutes, making it perfect for busy weeknights.

Instructions
- Drizzle olive oil in a large pot on medium heat and add the ground beef and brown for about 10 minutes. Drain off any excess grease.
- Add the chorizo by crumbling it into the cooked ground beef. Cover the pot and cook the chorizo thoroughly for another 8 to 10 minutes. Using a potato masher, combine the beef and chorizo together.
- Add the drained and rinsed beans and broth and cook for 5 minutes. Add the red chile sauce, water, and oregano and cook until it starts to boil, stirring occasionally. Reduce heat to low and simmer, uncovered, for about 10 minutes. Add more broth if the mixture is too thick.
- Add salt to taste. Ladle into bowls and sprinkle with a handful of cheese or toppings of your choice.
Notes
Nutrition does not include toppings.
Toppings can be whatever you like! Onion, avocado and cheese are my favorites, but sour cream, hot sauce, cilantro, green onions and Fritos would all make excellent additions as well.
