  1. Drain beets well. Pat dry. Cut larger beets in half.
  2. Heat large nonstick skillet over medium heat until hot. Add chorizo; cook 3 minutes or until browned, stirring frequently and breaking into crumbles. Add onion, salt, pepper, and cumin and chili powder, if desired. Continue cooking 3 to 5 minutes or until sausage is cooked through and onion is tender, stirring frequently.
