Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C).

Step 2

In a heavy bottom pan over medium-high heat, cook the Chorizo (6 oz) until browned and crumble the pieces as you go, about 3 minutes.

Step 3

Stir in the Onion (1/2) and Jalapeño Pepper (1) and sauté until they become translucent and browned, approximately 3 minutes.

Step 4

Add Garlic (2 cloves) , Taco Seasoning (2 Tbsp) , and Salt (1 tsp) . Cook until fragrant, about 2 more minutes.

Step 5

Then, add in Tomato Paste (1/3 cup) and cook out for 1 minute to deepen the color. This needs to be cooked out or you will have a raw tomato taste.

Step 6

Mix in the Brown Sugar (1/4 cup) , Molasses (1 Tbsp) , and Apple Cider Vinegar (1/4 cup) and ensure the sugar has melted through; about 3-4 minutes.

Step 7

Add the Black Beans (2 cans) and Water (1 cup) . Stir to incorporate.

Step 8

Put the pot into the oven uncovered and bake until the liquid has thickened and evaporated a little, about 10-15 minutes.

Step 9

Stir in fresh Lime Juice (1) and sprinkle Fresh Cilantro (1/4 cup) on top. Serve with Tortilla Chips (to taste) if desired.
