Great quiche! I cook the chorizo in one pan, so I can leave more grease behind. I slow cook my onion in the other pan. Sometimes I add a diced bell pepper, and cook that for a while. I add the beans late, just enough to preheat them and mix them. I usually add cilantro because I grow it and like it. I skip the salt and pepper because the chorizo has enough for us. I put my cheese on last so I can get a golden crust of cheese on the top. We love this quiche!

This was delicious! It was the first time using chorizo where I didn't take the grease out and it wasn't too greasy. I only used 1/2 can of black beans but next time I will use the whole can. The eggs were so custardy. A very rich and decadent breakfast.
