2. Add the beans and the beer, stir well to combine. Bring to a boil, taste for salt and pepper, season as needed. Reduce heat and cook for 20 minutes.

Variation: Instead of chorizo, you could use diced bacon, then follow the recipe the same....yummy! You could also use the soy chorizo and light beer for a lowfat version.
