Smoky Chorizo Butter Beans

A high protein flavor bomb of meal on your table in under 30 minutes.

Hey gang!

These protein-packed Smoky Chorizo Butter Beans come together in under 30 minutes and are the next installment in my Weeknight Bites series.

In this recipe, I make my own turkey chorizo using a handful of spices to keep the calorie count down. However if you’re not being super strict with calories, I recommend substituting store-bought pork chorizo, which is a bit tastier with all of that extra fat (plus it requires less ingredients to whip up the dish).

Macros and a printable recipe card with a grocery list can be found at the bottom of this post. I hope you enjoy!
