Ingredients

  • 4 poblano peppers
  • 2 large jalapeno peppers
  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 2 pounds ground sirloin
  • 1 large onion, finely chopped
  • 4 cloves garlic, finely chopped
  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon cumin, a palmful
  • 1 tablespoon coriander, a palmful
  • 1 tablespoon smoked sweet paprika
  • 2 tablespoons chile powder (recommended: Gebhardt's)
  • 1/4 cup tomato paste
  • 1 (12-ounce) bottle beer (recommended: Negra Modela)
  • 2 cups beef stock
  • 1 (16-ounce) can vegetarian spicy refried beans
  • 1 bag good quality corn tortilla chips (recommended: Xochitl)
  • 2 cups shredded soft Mexican melting cheese or Monterey Jack or yellow cheddar cheese or combo of any of the above
  • 1 Fresno red chile
  • 1 small can or jar pickled jalapenos

Directions

Char the poblano peppers and 2 large jalapenos over an open flame on stovetop or under a hot broiler with oven door left slightly ajar for steam to escape. Place the charred peppers in a bowl and cover with plastic wrap until cool enough to handle. Peel the peppers and seed them. Chop and puree into coarse sauce in food processor.

Meanwhile, heat 2 turns of the pan extra-virgin olive oil over medium-high heat in a chili pot. Add the meat and brown well. Add the onions, garlic, salt, pepper, cumin, coriander, paprika, and chile powder. Cook to soften onions a few minutes then stir in tomato paste. After 1 minute, add the beer and cook off another minute or two, stir in the stock and heat through. Stir the peppers into the chili and simmer a few minutes for the flavors to combine. Cool completely and store for make-ahead meal.

To reheat the chili: Place in a covered pot over moderate heat until heated through, stirring occasionally. Meanwhile, thin the refried beans with a splash of water and heat in a small pan over medium heat. Turn on the broiler and place the rack in the middle of the oven. When the chili is hot, uncover and top with tortillas. Dot the tortillas with beans and cover the entire layer of tortillas with cheese, place under the broiler until lightly browned and cheese has melted. Thinly slice fresh Fresno pepper. Garnish Nacho Chili with sliced fresh Fresno pepper and drained pickled jalapeno peppers.

    Delicious flavors, textures and aromas. Made this for large office party. Taste buds and allergies had to be considered. Made the chili without beans. Did cook the beans in another pot. When time to eat, I served the beanless chili in the pot on a warmer, cooked beans, cheese, tortilla chips, etc. each in separate bowls.

    Terrfic perty and nearly 100% outstanding evals! NO LEFT-OVERS!

    This is a very tasty dish! The chili has a rich, deeply layered flavor and the presentation of the dish is impressive enough for company. I made this the first time strinctly by the recipe for good friends ~ it was a big hit! No changes recommended, this is a keeper!
