Cut the chilies horizontally to remove the seeds and veins. Set aside. In a saucepan with enough hot water, add white vinegar and cook the chilies for 15 minutes. Drain and set aside. For the filling, in a hot saucepan fry the chorizo, add the onion and sauté. Pour in the pinto beans, chicken broth, cilantro, and season with cumin, salt, and pepper; cook for 6 minutes. Let it cool. Preheat the oven to 200 °C. Stuff the chilies with the beans, place some Oaxaca cheese on top, and bake for 10 minutes, or until the cheese melts. Garnish the chilies with avocado cubes and cilantro.
