'Chorizo is one of my favorite meats to cook with; it is already so flavorful that you don’t have to do much to make your dish taste good.' - Jessica Darakjian - One-Pot Meals.
Ingredients
1 pound (450 g) fresh pork chorizo
1 large yellow onion, diced
1 red bell pepper, diced
1 medium butternut squash, peeled, seeded, and diced
1 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons onion powder
2 teaspoons garlic powder
2 teaspoons ground cumin
2 teaspoons chipotle chili powder
2 (14.5-ounce / 411 g) cans fireroasted diced tomatoes
1 (15.5-ounce / 439 g) can pinto beans, drained
For serving
Crema
Pickled jalapeños
Tortilla Chips
Method
Heat a dutch oven over medium heat. Add the chorizo and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it has released some fat and started to brown. Add the onion and pepper and continue cooking for another 3 to 4 minutes. Add the cubed squash, salt, onion powder, garlic powder, cumin, and chili powder. Stir to combine everything, letting the spices bloom in the heat for a minute. Pour in the tomatoes and beans. Reduce the heat to low and simmer until the squash is fork-tender, 20 minutes.
Serve drizzled with crema, pickled jalapeños, and some tortilla chips crumbled over the top, if desired.
