In the same skillet, add the chopped onion and red bell pepper. Cook over medium heat for 5 minutes, or until softened.

04

Stir in the minced garlic and cumin. Cook for 1 minute more, until fragrant.

05

Return the cooked chorizo to the skillet. Add the rinsed black beans and undrained diced tomatoes. Stir to combine.

Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and cook for 8-10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.

07

Remove from heat and garnish with fresh chopped cilantro before serving.
