1 Saute onion in minimal amt of canola oil, when translucent add garlic and saute a few minutes more, add spices and drained kidney beans and can of tomatoes. Chorizos can be halved, or sliced on the diagonal, or any way you wish.2 You know how "liquidy" you like your cholent, if you make it in a crock pot or in a pot on the blech. So if you wish you can add water to your liking to get the consistency you want.3 Some make cholent as a side dish, some serve a heaping bowl by itself, so I would say this makes 4 small/medium portions (each would have equivalent of 1/2 chorizo in their portion)4 This recipe will make a mildly spicy chillent (to me, a devout pepperhead)...but one MOST people will say "spicy but I can still eat it"5 for those who want more of a kick, you can dice in a jalepeno (with or without seeds as your level of heat requires)6 for my Louisiana guests I drop in a minced habanero........THAT will be my kinda heat....*smile*7 This is only a guide, the spices can be varied to your taste and the heat varied to your guests...ENJOY
