My Favorite Brunch Beans
These are some of my favorite ways to make beans! They are so easy because it’s all done in one pan and they are loaded with flavor. It has a little spice from the jalapeños and the chorizo makes it a hearty meal. The eggs are poached perfectly creating a beautiful dish.
This makes a perfect brunch dish- or like me, make it camping for the whole family. You can even cook it over a fire.
I love to top it with fresh avocado slices and serve it with warm tortillas. You can also top it with pickled red onions, or fresh salsa. It is so yummy!

Instructions
- In a large cast iron pan drizzle a little olive oil, and add the shallot, white onion, and jalapeño. Let it saute for a few minutes.
- Next, add the chorizo and let it cook until the melts down and mixes with the vegetables.
- Drain some of the liquid from the beans into a cup and set it aside. If needed you can add some more liquid, otherwise you will toss it out in the end. Add the beans and stir until well combined. Let it cook on medium until nice and bubbly.
- Crack 6 eggs over the top, add diced queso fresco cheese, tomatoes, salt, pepper, and hatch chile flakes.
- Cover and let simmer just until eggs are done about 7 minutes. Depending on how you want your eggs. I like mine runny. If you want them fully cooked, simmer for about 12 minutes.
- Once it's done add your toppings of choice and enjoy!
