Heat up your oil on medium heat in a good size pan/pot. Add your onion and garlic. Let that sizzle for about a minute. Add cayenne/chipotle pepper if desired and mix.

Add your chorizo and cook for about 4 minutes; breaking up the meat with a spatula as you go.

(OPTIONAL STEP) I don’t know about you, but I like my food with as little grease as possible. I mean, I have a hard time enough as it is keeping my saddle-bags away. Sooo, right here I strained my chorizo to get a good bit of the grease out and returned to the pan.

Add the whole can of refried beans and your lime juice to the chorizo. Mix well.

Finally, you can add the cheese. Mix well. Once you have a good-melted-cheese consistency, the mixture is doneplete!

Butter your tortillas and heat them up any way you like (grilled, fried, toasted, etc. etc.). I like to use an oven rack and put it directly on the gas stove top. Turn on the flame and place your tortillas right over the heat. Flip just as you see some crispy parts and repeat for the other side.

Place about 2 tablespoons of the chorizo/bean mix on each tortilla. Add any other garnishes or condiments you want and enjoy!
