Borracho Beans and Rice image

I bought a can of cattle beans and a very similar recipe was on the label. I embellished it a bit. Normally, bacon goes into burracho beans. I happened to have some Mexican chorizo and used that instead. If you don't want your "drunken" beans drunk, use chicken broth instead. (But, it's better with beer!)
