Ingredients:
- 1 pound Mexican chorizo, casing removed
- 1 T garlic, chopped
- 1/4 t ground cumin
- 2 cups cooked pinto beans
- 1/2 t chili powder
- 1/4 t salt
- 1 1/2 cups pepper jack cheese, grated
- 1 1/2 cups sharp cheddar, grated
- 1 small white onion, sliced into thin rings
- 5 large jalapeƱos, chopped
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 T fresh lime juice
- fresh cilantro, chopped for garnish, if desired
- Tortilla chips (I used a mix of yellow and blue restaurant-style chips)
* I used dried pinto beans and let them soak overnight. You can skip this step if you use canned beans.
1. Preheat overn to 450 F.
2. Crumble the chorizo into a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add cumin and garlic and stir and cook until the sausage is browned, about 5 minutes. Remove and drain.
3. Add the pinto beans, chili powder, salt, and 1 cup of water (more or less, depending on how moist your beans are) to the pan and cook over medium heat until warmed through.
4. Smash the beans with a potato masher or the back of a spoon until chunky and smooth. Remove from heat.
5. Grease or spray a large baking dish.
6. Layer chips on bottom of dish. Top with 1/2 of the beans, then 1/2 of the sausage, cheeses, onions and jalapeƱos. Repeat with another layer.
7. Bake until cheese is melted, about 8 minutes
8. In a small bowl combine the sour cream and lime and a pinch of salt.
9. Serve topped with sour cream mixture.
