Ingredients:

Serving

drizzle of olive oil
1 half medium white onion (chopped )
1 jalapeno (seeded and finely chopped )
two cloves garlic (chopped )
two links mexican chorizo
1 16 oz can of red beans ( do not drain)
1 16 oz can diced tomatoes
1 cup low sodium chicken broth
juice of half a lime
1/2 tsp kosher salt
fresh cracked pepper
cilantro (chopped or torn for garnish)
two cups (uncooked ) of your favorite kind of rice

Directions:

Take the Chorizo meat out of the casing and saute in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat with the drizzle of Olive oil
When the meat is half cooked add the onions, jalapeno and garlic and stir for 2 -3 minutes
Stir in the Beans, Tomatoes and Broth
Lower heat to a simmer and let it reduce uncovered about 30 minutes until it is thickened but still a little soupy. If it gets too dry add more stock.
Meanwhile, cook your Rice as you normally would. Typically twice as much water as rice and cook covered over low heat for 25-30 minutes. Fluff with a fork when done.
Salt and pepper the Red Beans mixture to taste
Add in the lime juice just before service and stir in
Serve over rice with the Cilantro sprinkled over the top as a garnish
