Monkey Beans & RiceAs indicated, do a quick soak on your beans first, then after draining put in a large crockpot. Add the hot water (cold will halt the cooking process - microwave or boil it to a decently hot temperature but not boiling). Add remaining ingredients except for chorizo. Cover, turn crockpot to high and let simmer for 2-3 hours. Add chorizo, stir and cook another hour. Stir occasionally. Remove bay leaves before serving.
1 1/2 lbs. red beans (sorted, washed, quick soaked, drained)
6 cups hot water
2 whole jalapenos (poke holes in them with a knife)
2-3 celery stalks (diced)
5 dried bay leaves
1 tsp. ancho pepper powder
1 tsp. cumin
1 tsp. chipotle pepper powder
1 c. chorizo sausage (browned, drained)
Serve over rice with fresh cilantro and a good sour cream on the side. Tabasco optional (though preferred).
This is even better the next day. Enjoy, kidz!
OPTIONS: Add more jalapenos and spices if you want it hotter, but it's so hard to tell how hot a jalapeno will be without trying it first. I love it really hot, but this recipe was plenty for me without any extra. You can also add onions, but I rarely cook with them. They can upset the tummy sometimes.

Chorizo is the food of the gods.....big fat heart attack gods.Its soooo good though.My wife doesnt like Cilantro."FREAK" A recipe for your dip would be good.Id get to eat it all.
You know why I only use a cup of chorizo, then, eh.
Tell your wife she's beautiful and wonderful and perfect and brilliant - but to get over the cilantro thing! It's just overgrown parsley with flavor!!! No big deal.
You mean my salsa? I thought I put that up already.
I love this food. I ate this long time ago at my friend's home. After that I convinced my wife to made it. She cook it for me once in a month.
