This recipe is very versatile and is free of almost all potential allergens. If you don’t have vegetable broth, you could use chicken or beef broth. If you don’t have chorizo, any other type of salty, cured meat would work — ham, ham bone, ham hock, sausage, bacon. This meal works well paired with a dinner salad and homemade bread, and leftovers are perfect for a light lunch.

The chorizo sausage turns into a softer-crunch and a little less hot, perfect for my milder palette. I love the smooth texture of the pinto beans against the slight crunch of the chorizo. I highly recommend this dish.[/gdlr_tab]
