Crusty Black Bean Chorizo Subs

We were very pleasantly surprised when we had these. These subs have great flavor. I found the original recipe in the December 2005 issue of Chile Pepper magazine.


Don't forget the Cholula hot sauce!

Ingredients:

• 4 mini-sub rolls
• 8 oz Mexican chorizo
• 2 T vegetable oil
• 2 15 oz cans black beans, rinsed and drained
• 6 oz queso fresco or other melting cheese
• 1 avocado, pitted and sliced
• Hot sauce (recommend Cholula)

1. Heat large skillet over medium heat. Add the chorizo, crumble, and cook until browned.

2. Add the oil and the beans to the skillet. Once they simmer, mash with a potato masher or the back of a large spoon to form a paste. Cook until beans are thick, like mashed potatoes, about 10 minutes.

3. Season with salt and reduce heat.

4. Brown rolls. Top each with bean mix, cheese, avocado and hot sauce. Serve.
