Well, let me introduce you to your next favorite beans dip.  I’m sure you will love the combination of melting cheese and chorizo. Yes, this one is going to go to your list of must-have party dishes. Ms. Carlota Lopéz, who lives in the Sinaloa state capital, the beautiful city of Culiacán, kindly shared this Sinaloa’s state recipe with us.

Dirty Beans Dip Recipe | Mexican Recipes
In Sinaloa, this dish is popular as a side dish in some small eateries, at home as a snack with crispy tortilla chips, and must must-have rural celebrations like weddings, first communion’s or baptisms where it is served along beef or Lamb stewed (barbacoa), creamy elbow macaroni, and dirty beans.  According to Ms. Lopez’s daughter and son-in-law, you will always find these three dishes served together at these rural parties.
Dirty beans are also found in other northern states like Sonora and Chihuahua, where they are cooked with additional ingredients like bacon or dried peppers.

Notes:

      This looks like a bean dip I had once when I was at a little taco place in Guadalajara many years ago. I love love loved that place! They served it complimentary with the chips. I am really excited to try this recipe! I am so glad I found your website!! I love authentic Mexican food! My ex husband is from Mexico City. We were married for 17 years. We used to own a Mexican Restaurant. We served Authentic Mexican food including made to order corn tortillas. I will let you know how close this recipe is to the one I had in Guadalajara. Thanks! Have a beautiful day!????

      I made this last night as an appetizer before having tacos and it was really, really yummy. This morning we fried our tortillas and made breakfast tostadas and used this bean dip as a spread under our basted eggs and it was fantastic! Will be making this again, as will my parents who asked for the recipe. Love this site - wonderful recipes!!

      Hi! Thank for the recipe, looks really interesting, but could I use regular red beans to it?
      Thanks again for the answer!
      Mike.

        Hello Michal,
        You could try using those beans, the flavor will change a little but for sure will still be very tasty!

      Do you drain the oil after cooking the chorizo?

        Hello Christine,
        If the chorizo renders too much fat, then drain it. Each brand of chorizo is different, some have more fat than others.
