Helpful tips and Tricks
If you want to take an easy and fast shortcut you can totally use canned beans. Just look for the low sodium version and make sure they are plain pinto beans. To me, there’s nothing like making your own beans I know we don’t always have the time. You will need about 2, 15.5 oz can.
I like to keep most of the beans whole because they hold better with the rest of the ingredients, and I love the different textures going on in this dish. However, if you want to go for traditional refried beans, you can add the beans to a food processor and run it for a minute or two before adding them to the chorizo.
