Refried Beans

Seasoning

Method

Preparation of Chicken, Beef, and Chorizo

  1. 1

    Cook the Chicken

    In a skillet over medium heat, cook the chicken breast for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until fully cooked. Season with salt and chili powder.

  2. 2

    Brown the Beef

    In a separate skillet, brown the ground beef over medium heat for about 5-6 minutes, breaking it up with a spatula, until fully cooked. Drain excess fat.

  3. 3

    Cook the Chorizo

    In the same skillet as the ground beef, add the chorizo sausage and cook for another 4-5 minutes until browned and fully cooked.

Cooking the Rice

  1. 4

    Prepare the Rice

    In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup of long-grain rice, 2 cups of water, and 1 tsp of salt. Bring to a boil.

  2. 5

    Simmer

    Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover, and let simmer for about 15-20 minutes or until the rice is tender and all the water is absorbed. Fluff with a fork.

Making Refried Beans

  1. 6

    Heat the Beans

    In a skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the canned pinto beans (drained) and mash them with a fork.

  2. 7

    Season the Beans

    Add 1 tsp of garlic powder, 1 tsp of cumin, and salt to taste. Stir well and cook for about 5-7 minutes, until heated through.

Serving

  1. 8

    Plate the Dishes

    On a large plate, serve a portion of the cooked rice, a scoop of refried beans, and a mix of the cooked chicken, beef, and chorizo. Garnish with fresh cilantro.
