Dirty beans

When I was in Florida, the Mexican members of my family taught me how to make something called dirty beans. Mine aren't exactly like theirs, but they are pretty delicious.

1 large can of pinto beans (or a bag of dried beans if you want to cook them yourself. Or 2 cans of refried beans if you are lazy)
1 small can of pickled jalapenos
1 small can of black olives
2 links of chorizo sausage
1 small yellow onion
1 small tomato
handful of cilantro
Mexican cheese (it should be white, cojita has worked the best so far)

In a big frying pan, cook up the chorizo and onion. Once the sausage is cooked, add the drained pinto beans and mush them up with a potato masher. Stir them up to "refry" them. Add some pickled jalapeno slices and the pepper juice, some black olives (although Rosa uses green olives because she likes the saltier taste better). Add chopped up tomato. Heat clear through. Add cilantro to taste and chunks of Mexican cheese and stir. (Add cheese last so it doesn't melt too much.)

Delicioso!
