Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Rinse and drain the black beans. Chop the onion, garlic, and bell pepper finely. Dice the avocado and chop the cilantro.

  2. 2

    Cook the Chorizo

    In a large pot over medium heat, add the chorizo sausage. Cook until browned and crumbly, about 5-7 minutes. Remove excess grease if necessary.

Cooking

    Stir in the rinsed black beans, chicken broth, cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil.

    Reduce the heat to low and let the beans simmer for about 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the flavors meld.
