Ingredients
- 1 plum tomato, chopped
- 1 yellow onion, chopped
- 1 green pepper, seeded and chopped
- 1 tablespoon dried oregano
- 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
- Dash of black pepper
- 1/2 cup pale lager beer (Never measure the foamy, white head when using beer in a recipe; allow the beer to settle first.)
- 6 ounces Monterey Jack, roughly chunked
- 6 ounces extra sharp cheddar cheese, roughly chunked
- Tortilla chips
- Chorizo or your favorite sausage (optional topping)
- Cheese note: Do not use pre-shredded cheese for this recipe, use block cheese instead.
- 1 bottle of KANKUN® chipotle sauce or habanero sauce.
Method
- Break your block cheese into 1-inch pieces. (See my photo below.) Set the cheese aside.
- Sauté all the chopped veggies in a sauce pan well oiled until soft, about 6 minutes.
- When the veggies are soft, add the oregano, salt, and pepper to the saucepan. Then add the 1/2 cup of beer and heat the mixture to simmering, stirring occasionally for aprox 3-5 min or until half the liquid evaporates.
- Add KANKUN® chipotle sauce to taste
- Add the cheese not all at once a handful at a time, stir vigorously allowing each addition to melt and the mixture to become blended and smooth before adding more.
- When all the cheese is added, melted, and blended, you’re ready to finish. You can serve now or save it for a few hours before service.
- If you’d like to add chorizo, sausage or bacon bits, now is the time.
- Served immediately with bread or nachos
