BEER PAIRING
Pair with an American Pale Ale, like Saint Archer® Pale Ale
The caramel and toasty notes of Saint Archer® Pale Ale balance the saltiness of the cheese, and the savory beef.
The citrus and piney flavors found in Saint Archer Pale Ale complement the bold spices found in this dish.
This American Pale Ale has just enough hop bitterness to bring out the heat from the chilies and jalapenos without overwhelming the other flavors. And the carbonation? It helps cleanse the palate of the rich, creamy cheese.
INGREDIENTS
½ pound ground chuck
8 ounces American processed cheddar cheese
2 ounces Monterey Jack cheese, shredded
2 4-ounce can green chilies
½ teaspoon chili powder
½ teaspoon cumin
Diced tomatoes, sliced jalapenos, cilantro, for garnish
PREPARATION
STEP 1
In a large non-stick skillet over high heat, brown the beef until cooked through, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
STEP 2
Reduce heat to medium-low, add cheeses and cook, stirring often, until cheese is melted. Add chilies, chili powder, and cumin; stir. Pour into a heated ceramic bowl, top with a few diced tomatoes, sliced jalapenos, and cilantro, and serve with tortilla chips.
