- 3/4 pound vegan chorizo
- 1 recipe Vegan Nacho Cheese Sauce
- 1 can black beans, drained and rinsed

Directions
- Warm the vegetable oil in a medium saucepan over high heat until it looks glossy and starts to shimmer. Add the chorizo and cook it for about 10 minutes, stirring often, until it is deeply browned and a little dried out. Scoop out 2 tablespoons and keep it aside for the garnish.
- Add the cheese dip, black beans, setting aside 2 tablespoons for garnish, tomatoes, cilantro, scallions, avocado, and minced serrano or jalapeño, then stir everything together. Mix in hot sauce to taste. Continue heating and stirring until the dip is hot.
- Spoon the dip into a warm serving bowl. Finish it with the reserved chorizo, black beans, cilantro, and scallions, and serve right away with tortilla chips.
