So, last time, I wanted creamier beans and a redder appearance.
I again started with four slices of bacon and used the kitchen shears to slice it into ribbons. This time though I added diced onion (no shallot), a couple of clovers of garlic, and two Jalapeños.
Instead of raw Chorizo I used smoked one that I diced into cubes. Then I added half a can of diced tomatoes. I got the creamier beans and redder appearance, and the second try was better than the first. However, there is still room for improvement.
Next time, instead of the canned tomatoes to add acidity and color; I’ll paprika for color and some diced cherry tomatoes for acidity. Also I need to find a better smoked Chorizo. This one tasted more like pepperoni, which is ok, but I wanted more heat, and more flavor out of it. This version was the consistency of baked beans, which is not what I wanted. I may either mast half a can of beans, or I guess I could use some re-fried beans. I want it kind of “pasty”.
