Frijoles de Olla:

7 cups water
3 cloves garlic minced
Mix and cook in the crockpot for 5 to 6 hours. Correct salt if necessary.
Heat oil in large deep frying pan. Fry Chorizo until done and crisp. Add onion and fry til translucent. Add 1 cup of beans and broth and mash them down with a potato masher and stir and scrape bottom of pan while doing this. As the broth evaporates add more beans and broth and mash and stir and scrape. Keep mashing and adding until all beans and juice has been added. Cook til it is a thick paste. You can leave it alone for a few minutes at a time if you watch it carefully and go back to mashing and stirring and scraping. As they cool they get thicker also. Serve with tortilla chips.
