Bean & Chorizo Dip
We’re still in the prime snacking season of the year. New Year’s Day (the ultimate snacking day in my household) has come and gone, with pulled pork nachos and Asian-style chicken wings being our snacks/meals of choice.
Oscar night is on the horizon next month, which calls for elegant snacks to complement the fancy evening gowns on television. And the big game is next weekend! Some say that the food for this event is their favorite part (more so than the game itself), and I couldn’t agree more.

This spicy bean & chorizo dip is inspired by an appetizer at one of my favorite restaurants in town. It calls for only five ingredients (although, you can also add the optional toppings if you’re feeling fancy).
It takes only a few minutes to prep the ingredients and stir together, and then it just simmers away on the stove until it is nice and thick and delicious. The spicy chorizo and tangy tomatillo salsa flavors the stewed beans. A little lime juice for brightness and sour cream for richness is stirred in right at the end.

Love the chorizo and moscato combination! Thank you!
Hey there! I could have sworn I’ve been to this site before but after checking through some of the post I realized it’s new to me.
Anyways, I’m definitely happy I found it and I’ll be bookmarking and checking back often!
I actually liked yours better than the chorizo bean dip at Imperial. Shhhh, don’t tell anybody.
I’m new to moscato myself, Shaina, but I do like how it pairs with spicy foods.
I love a Moscato with spicy foods. This sounds perfect!
Thanks Sarah!
Moscato is my absolute favorite. The spiciness from the dip would pair perfectly!
This sounds great! I am SO not a football fan, but I am a huge appetizer fan, so this recipe is right up my alley.
Haha yes, Elisabeth, appetizers > football any day.
