Note
Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in a skillet to maintain texture.
Substitutions: If you prefer milder sausage, you can use smoked paprika sausage instead of chorizo. For a vegan version, omit the chorizo and use olive oil for sautéing.
Variations: Add 1/2 cup of pitted Kalamata olives, halved, during the last minute of cooking for a salty, briny contrast.
Tip: Ensure your green beans are dry before adding them to the pan to ensure they crisp up rather than steam.
