Steps:

• In a large saucepan set over medium-high heat, heat a drizzle of oil and saute the onion, carrot, and celery for about 5 minutes, until soft.
• Add the chorizo sausage, squeezed out of it's casing, breaking it up with a spoon, until the meat is no longer pink.
• Stir in the green onions, garlic, and cumin and cook for another minute or two.
• Add the corn, beans, potato, and stock and bring to a simmer.
• Reduce the heat, cover, and cook for about 20 minutes, until the potatoes are tender.
• Simmer for a bit longer (uncovered) if you'd like to thicken up a bit, then stir in the cream or coconut milk and heat through.
• Serve immediately.

Steps:

• For the sauce: Place the ketchup, brown sugar, syrup, vinegar, Worcestershire, pepper and garlic in a small pot. Bring to a low boil, reduce the heat to low and thicken 15 minutes. (This sauce stores well for weeks and makes a tasty sloppy Joe, burger baster and pork chop topper if you want to double the recipe. If using for a more all-purpose BBQ sauce, add 1/2 cup chicken stock and simmer for 20 minutes.) For the chowder: Heat the EVOO in a soup pot over medium-high heat and add the bacon, if using. Cook until crisp 2 to 3 minutes. Add the potatoes, corn, celery, onions, bell pepper, chile, garlic, thyme, seafood seasoning and bay leaf, and stir. Cook to soften, 8 to 10 minutes. Add the beer and cook the beer down by half, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the beans, tomatoes, shredded chicken, BBQ Sauce, stock and 2 cups of water. Simmer a few minutes to combine the flavors, cool and store for a make-ahead meal. Reheat over medium heat. When ready to serve, peel, pit and dice the avocado and dress it in the lime juice. Place diced avocado and some broken tortilla chips in each soup bowl, top with the hot chowder and serve.

Steps:

• Melt the butter in a large saucepan over medium heat and saute the onion and celery until softened. Stir in the flour and cook for 3 minutes, stirring frequently. Gradually add the stock, whisking until you have a smooth liquid. Add the potatoes, corn, thyme, salt and pepper. Cover and bring to a boil. Then reduce the heat and simmer for 15 minutes or until the vegetables are tender, stirring occasionally.
• Stir in the crabmeat and heavy cream and heat the soup gently but thoroughly. Do not let it boil or the soup may curdle. Sprinkle with the chopped parsley and serve immediately.

Steps:

• Cook chorizo, onion, garlic, bell pepper, pepper flakes, cumin, and salt in oil in a 3-quart heavy saucepan over moderate heat, stirring, until vegetables are softened, about 10 minutes. Add broth (2 1/2 cups for smaller cans of beans or 3 cups for larger) and beans and simmer, partially covered, 15 minutes. Lightly mash beans with a potato masher to slightly thicken.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Combine sweet potatoes, olive oil, cumin, and salt in a medium bowl. Spread evenly on the prepared baking sheet.
• Roast in the preheated oven, stirring after 10 minutes, until browned and cooked, 18 to 20 minutes total.
• Meanwhile, combine black beans, cumin, salt, and garlic powder in a small saucepan over medium-low heat. Heat until warmed through, 8 to 10 minutes. Keep warm.
• Brown chorizo in a large skillet over medium-high heat, breaking up any large clumps, for 5 to 6 minutes. Transfer chorizo to a paper towel-lined plate using a slotted spoon. Reserve about 1 tablespoon grease in the skillet, adding butter as needed to make up the difference.
• Crack eggs into the skillet and cook until whites are set and yolks reach the desired doneness, 3 to 5 minutes.
• Divide sweet potatoes, drained black beans, chorizo, and avocados between 4 bowls. Top each bowl with an egg.

Steps:

• Cook chorizo, onion, garlic, bell pepper, pepper flakes, cumin and salt in oil in a 3-quart heavy saucepan over moderate heat, stirring, until vegetables are softened, about 10 minutes.
• Add broth (2 1/2 cups for smaller cans of beans or 3 cups for larger) and beans and simmer, partially covered, 15 minutes.
• Lightly mash beans with potato masher to slightly thicken.

Steps:

• Jalapenos -- I roast mine just on a small piece of aluminum foil like 4x4 in a 450 degree oven for 10 minutes, turning often. No oil, no seasoning, just put them in the oven. They will get nice and charred all on their own. Then remove and put in a bowl or coffee cup or small plate covered with plastic wrap and 10-15 minutes later, they are done. The skin pulls right off and you can remove the seeds and ribs and chop. Just set to the side. You can be doing this as you saute the chorizo. These will be added to the beans in just a few minutes.
• Chorizo -- Remove the chorizo from the casing and brown in a small saute pan on medium high heat until golden brown. Remove once golden brown and no longer pink and then transfer to a plate lined with a paper towel to absorb any grease or drippings. Transfer to a small bowl or tupperware and put in the refrigerator for later.
• Beans -- Now, I like to reserve a tablespoon of the chorizo drippings to cook the beans and onions in, but get rid of the rest - you don't want too much grease. Add the onions and garlic to the chorizo drippings on medium high heat and saute for just a couple of minutes until the onions start to soften. Add the beans and jalapenos, salsa, chili powder, cumin, salt and pepper to taste. Cook on medium heat to combine all the flavors. MY TRICK -- just take a fork and mash a few of the beans up. Not all, just some. It adds a nice texture and takes just a seconds. You don't have to, but I think it adds a lot. Ok, these are done too. Just remove to a bowl or a tupperware container and put in the refrigerator for later.
• Chowder -- This is such a easy soup. In a large pot, melt the butter and saute the onion, potato and garlic until slightly soft. Add in the corn (reserving 1 cup) and cook on medium high heat, I like to not brown the vegetables, but I do like to get just a little color and a good pan saute for just a couple of minutes. Then I add in the flour and stir well to combine. Cook just another minute then add in the broth and cook about 10 minutes until the vegetables, especially the potatoes are soft.
• I like to use my immersion blender right in the in the pot, but you can transfer the mixture to a food processor or even or regular blender. You want the corn mixture to become nice and creamy. Return the corn to the pot if you did not use an immersion blender and add the cream cheese, and light cream, the remaining 1 cup of corn, salt, pepper and red pepper flakes. Then cook 20 minutes on simmer just to blend all the flavors. Also the natural starch of the potato and the corn will help to thicken the dish. Once everything is heated through, check for thickness. If you like yours thinner, by all means, add some more broth. It should be just about right however. I don't like it too thin. I also check again for salt and pepper and add in my scallions and parsley and it's done.
• Toppings -- Dice the avocado in small bite size pieces and toss with the olives, lime juice, a little salt and pepper to taste. Go easy on the salt, there is salt in the chowder and the beans and the olives are also salty.
• Serving -- Heat up both the beans and the chorizo in the microwave. Just 1-2 minutes until heated through. In each serving bowl add 1/2 cup of the beans, then top with the corn chowder. Now on top of the chowder, I like to make three small "piles" of the toppings. A couple of tablespoons of the cheese, a couple of the avocado/olives, and a couple of the chorizzo. Squeeze a little lime over the soup and then garnish with one slice of the lime, a light sprinkle of the cilantro and add a few tortilla chips.
• It is just a "fun" unique soup for entertaining or for dinner with friends. Make a few appetizers and drinks, some of my soup and enchiladas and then a of course dessert. Play some cards on a cold night and just relax. Sometimes a great dinner party doesn't have to be "fancy.".

Steps:

• Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Stir in onion, and cook until softened, about 2 minutes. Stir in beans and corn, then add sugar, salsa, and pepper flakes; mix well. Cook until heated through, about 3 minutes.
• Melt 2 teaspoons of the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Place a tortilla in the skillet, sprinkle evenly with cheese, then top with some of the bean mixture. Place another tortilla on top, cook until golden, then flip and cook on the other side. Melt more butter as needed, and repeat with remaining tortillas and filling.

Steps:

• In a large bowl, add black beans, rice, corn, seasonings, and egg. Using a potato masher, mash the ingredients until thoroughly mixed together.
• Once mashed, add the bread crumbs and mix to combine.
• Take a quarter of the mixture and shape it into a patty using your hands. Repeat with the remaining mixture to create four patties.
• In a pan, heat a small amount of oil over medium heat. Add the patties and cook for 4-5 minutes, flip, top with a slice of pepper jack, and cook for another 4-5 minutes.
• Place patties on buns, and top with sliced tomato, red onion, avocado, and fresh salsa.
• Enjoy!
