Classic Pot Beans with Chorizo

Place beans in a large bowl. Cover with water, about 6 cups, and soak overnight. Drain.

Empty beans into a large pot and cover with remaining 8 cups of water. Add garlic, onion, oil and TABASCO^® Sauce. Bring to a boil, then lower to medium heat and simmer, partially covered, until soft, about 1 1/2 hours (2 hours for black beans). Add epazote and salt. Continue cooking until broth thickens and looks creamy, about 30 minutes.

Fry chorizo in a small skillet until well done. Stir into finished beans.

This bean dish is a great accompaniment to a hearty Mexican breakfast and most any meat or vegetable dish.
