I like to call this dish the best of both worlds! Seasoned black beans with spicy chorizo makes for the most delicious appetizer! My husband and I ate that entire skillet in a matter of minutes! This black bean chorizo dip is one you’re gonna what to try!
And I was thinking if you didn’t have chorizo you could just as easily use taco meat! Either way, buy a lot of tortilla chips because there won’t be a drop of this dip left!
And the best thing about black beans is that they are full of good for you nutrients like fiber, calcium, and protein.
When possible I like to use local products. My favorite black beans (really any bean) are Bush’s Beans. They are a local family-owned business in Knoxville and they truly make a delicious product! As for the sausage, Wampler’s Farm is my go-to. I buy all their products from breakfast sausage to taco meat and of course the chorizo!
