A Hearty Farmhouse Favorite

This bold, zesty chorizo burrito bowl is one of our go-to meals when we want something warm, comforting, and quick. It’s made with our own Cedar Valley Farms pork chorizo, which adds just the right amount of spice. Toss in some pantry staples like black beans, corn, and diced tomatoes — and you’ve got a one-skillet dinner that’s easy to prep and even easier to love.

If you’re looking for a weeknight meal that brings the flavor without the fuss, this is it. We even add a spoonful of our Goodin’s Garden jalapeño candy for a sweet-and-spicy twist that takes things to the next level.

Ingredients

• 1 lb Cedar Valley Farms pork chorizo sausage (defrosted)

• 2 teaspoons olive oil

• 1 (15 oz) can black beans, drained and rinsed

• 1 (10 oz) can Ro*Tel Mexican Style Diced Tomatoes with lime & cilantro

• 1 ½ cups frozen corn

• 1 teaspoon salt

• 2 teaspoons black pepper

• 1 teaspoon garlic powder

• ½ teaspoon onion powder

• ½ tablespoon Goodin’s Garden jalapeño candy (optional, for sweet heat)

• Tortilla chips, for serving

Equipment Needed

• Large skillet

• Large spoon or spatula

• Colander

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Prep the Chorizo

If using frozen chorizo, defrost it overnight in the fridge for the best texture.

2. Cook the Sausage

In a large skillet over medium heat, warm the olive oil. Add the chorizo and cook thoroughly, breaking it up into small pieces with your spoon or spatula. If needed, drain off the grease and return the chorizo to the skillet.

3. Add Vegetables & Beans

Stir in the Ro*Tel tomatoes and frozen corn.
Drain and rinse your black beans, then add them to the skillet. Mix everything together well.

4. Season

Add salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Stir again to combine.
If you’re using jalapeño candy, stir that in now. We recommend starting with ½ tablespoon — you can always add more if you love a little extra kick!

5. Serve and Enjoy

Spoon the mixture into bowls and serve with a big handful of tortilla chips on the side. Optional: Top with shredded cheese, sour cream, avocado, or fresh cilantro.

Serving Suggestions

This dish is delicious on its own, but here are a few ways to stretch it even further:

• Serve over cooked rice or quinoa for a burrito bowl-style meal

• Wrap in a tortilla for an easy handheld burrito

• Add fried eggs on top and call it brunch

• Pile into lettuce wraps for a low-carb version

 

Tips & Variations

• Make it creamy: Stir in a few tablespoons of cream cheese or Greek yogurt

• Add heat: Top with hot sauce or diced jalapeños

• Make it mild: Just add more sweet corn and skip the jalapeño candy

• Veg it up: Add chopped bell peppers or zucchini for extra veggies
