To prepare, simply open the can and heat the contents in a saucepan over medium heat, stirring occasionally until thoroughly warmed through.

It's ready to serve as is, or you can enhance it further with your favorite toppings like cheese, salsa, or sour cream.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike plain refried beans, this version includes chorizo, which imparts a smoky, spicy, and meaty flavor. This addition creates a more complex taste profile and a richer texture, making it a complete flavor component rather than just a base.

How to keep the rest
Refrigerate any unused portion in a covered container. It should be consumed within a few days for optimal freshness. Ensure the container is airtight to prevent the beans from drying out.
