  • Place beans into a large container; add enough cool water to cover by several inches. Soak beans for 8 hours to overnight. Drain and rinse before using.
  • Set an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
  • Cut bell peppers in half lengthwise. Remove and discard stems, seeds, and ribs. Arrange pepper halves, cut-sides down, onto the prepared baking sheet.
  • Roast peppers under the preheated broiler until blackened and blistered, 5 to 8 minutes; transfer to a bowl, seal tightly with plastic wrap, and let steam until skins are loosened, about 20 minutes. Remove and discard skins. Slice peppers.
  • Heat oil in a large pot over medium heat. Cook and stir potatoes in hot oil until browned, about 10 minutes. Add chorizo and continue to cook until hot, 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in sliced peppers, onion, garlic, paprika, and salt; cook, stirring occasionally, until onion is softened, about 10 minutes.
  • Stir in beans, then pour in sherry and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover the pot, and simmer until beans are tender, 10 to 15 minutes.
