Creamy Refried Black Beans

Ingredients

• 1 link chorizo sausage
• 1 onion, quartered
• 2 cloves garlic
• 1/4 pound bacon, chopped
• 1 pinch ground cumin, or to taste
• Salt and ground black pepper to taste
• 2 (15.5 ounce) cans black beans, liquid reserved

Directions

Pulse chorizo, onion, and garlic together in a food processor until well-chopped.

Place bacon in a pot and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until bacon starts to render fat, 3 to 5 minutes. Add ground chorizo mixture to bacon; cook and stir until onion softens and is translucent, about 5 minutes. Drain excess fat from pot and season mixture with cumin, salt, and black pepper.

Stir beans and reserved liquid into pot; cook, stirring occasionally, until beans are heated through and flavors combine, 10 to 20 minutes.
