makes 2 servings
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1/4 lb (antelope) chorizo sausage
1 can black beans, drained and rinsed
1 cup arugula
2 tablespoons goat cheese, softened
1 avocado, peeled, pitted, and cut into slices
2-4 tablespoons salsa [optional]
2 Kaiser rolls, split into halves
organic olive oil cooking spray
1. Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is shimmering, add the chorizo and cook until browned, about 12 minutes. Reduce the heat to medium and add in the black beans. Use a potato masher to mush the beans up.
2. Cook until the black beans are heated. Remove from the heat.
3. Move a rack into the top position in the oven. Turn on the broiler.
4. Cut the kaiser rolls in half. Scoop out some of the bread from the bottom half of each roll.
5. Spray the roll halves lightly with olive oil cooking spray.
6. Place the rolls on the top rack in the oven and toast. Keep your eye on the rolls as they can quickly burn.
7. Once the rolls are toasted, remove them from the oven.
8. Spread the goat cheese on the top half of each kaiser roll.
9. Spoon the chorizo-black bean mixture into the scooped-out portion of each roll's bottom half.
10. Top with arugula, avocado slices, and a spoonful or two of salsa (if desired).
11. Place the top half of each roll on each sandwich, and serve immediately.
