- 1/3 cup Mexican Beer
- 1 tbsp Neutral Oil
- 1 cup Oaxaca Cheese shredded
In a skillet over medium heat, add oil and bring to a spider. Add bacon, 1/2 the jalapenos and onion; cook, stirring often, until bacon is rendered and onion is softened, 8 to 10 minutes.
Add chorizo; cook, stirring often to crumble into small pieces, until chorizo is mostly cookedthrough, 4 to 5 minutes.
While the meats cook, place the pintos, taco seasoning into a blender, blend smooth, adding the beer to adjust consistancy. We are looking for a loose consistancy.
When the meats are done, add the blended beans and remaining jalapenos to the pan, stir, and heat through
Taste, Season, and Balance Flavors
Plate and add cheese as desired; serve with tortilla chips and side with the rest of the beer.
A quick and dirty bean dip is good for a snack.
One can forgo meats, and heat the bean blend in a microwave, for a vegetarian option
