Tonight I made really amazingly delicious recipe and one that is also incredibly tasty. I found it in a cookbook called Eat that I gave Paula a few years ago. Each of the ingredients in this cookbook uses just 5-6 ingredients. The recipe that I made tonight requires: chorizo, corn tortillas, sun-dried tomatoes, onion, cheddar cheese and pinto beans. Every recipe in the book is incredibly easy to make and you can adapt them as you need. We have enjoyed a number of the recipes in this book since they are so easy to make.
Start by cooking up 2/3 of a pound of chorizo sausage in 2 tablespoons of oil from a jar of sun-dried tomatoes. Add 1 thinly sliced onion to the sausage while it is cooking and continue to cook it for about 10 minutes until the onion is soft. Add 2-3 cloves of crushed or minced garlic and 1 14-ounce can of drained pinto beans. Heat thoroughly and season before placing in a baking pan.
Tear 4-5 corn tortillas into pieces and toss with a 4 ounce jar of sun-dried tomatoes. Scatter this mixture over the sausage-bean mixture. Top with at least several ounces of shredded cheddar cheese.. Bake for 10 minutes at 400 degrees. Serve by itself or with a salad.
This is really delicious! It is one of those recipes that can be enjoyed all year long. We have enjoyed it in the middle of winter when we wanted something to fill us up on a cold winter evening. It has also been a great meal to enjoy on cool fall days or when we are starting to come out of winter in the spring. Both of us would recommend it!
