Description
This Frijoles Puercos Recipe is a bold, creamy Mexican bean dip made with pinto beans, chorizo, chipotle chiles, and melty cheese. Perfect for parties, taco nights, or cozy snacking.
Ingredients
4 cups cooked pinto beans with liquid
2 chipotle chiles in adobo
1 lb beef or chicken chorizo
4 oz beef or turkey bacon, diced
8 oz Pepper Jack, Oaxaca, or Chihuahua cheese, shredded
¼ cup pickled jalapeños, diced
Instructions
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and cook the diced bacon until nearly crisp.
Add the chorizo and cook, breaking it up, until browned and lightly crispy.
Blend the pinto beans with the chipotle chiles until smooth and creamy.
Pour the bean mixture into the skillet and stir to combine with the meat.
Reduce heat to low, add cheese and jalapeños, and stir until melted and creamy, about 5 minutes.
Serve warm with tortilla chips or as a side for tacos and grilled meats.
Notes
Start with one chipotle chile if you prefer a milder dip.
If the dip thickens too much, add a splash of bean liquid or milk.
Keeps well refrigerated for up to 4 days.
