Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoon of oil
  • 1 lb of ground beef
  • 1 of onion
  • 3 of garlic cloves
  • 4 of serrano peppers
  • 2 tablespoon of chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon of cayenne pepper
  • 1 teaspoon of ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon of salt
  • 1 cup of amber lager-style beer
  • 1 15-ounce can of Ranch Style Beans with Sliced Jalapeños Peppers
  • 1 10-ounce can of Rotel Tomatoes & Green Chilies
  • 1 8-ounce can of tomato sauce
  • 4 9.75-ounce bag of Fritos Flamin' Hot Corn Chips
  • 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup of spicy queso
  • 0 of sour cream
  • 0 of pico de gallo
  • 4 of pickled serrano peppers
  • 0 of freshly chopped cilantro

Instructions

  1. In a large skillet over medium heat, heat 1 tablespoon of oil. Add the ground beef, breaking it into crumbles with a wooden spoon. Cook until browned, about 5-8 minutes. Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside.
  2. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil to the skillet. Add the onion, garlic, and serrano peppers. Cook until the onions are fully translucent, about 5-8 minutes.
  3. Stir in the chili powder, cayenne pepper, cumin, and salt until well combined.
  4. Return the browned beef to the skillet. Pour in the beer and cook until the alcohol has evaporated and the liquid is reduced by half, about 3-5 minutes.
  5. Add the beans, Rotel, and tomato sauce. Bring the mixture to a low simmer. Cover with a lid and let it cook, allowing the sauce to reduce and thicken and the flavors to intensify, about 1 hour.
  6. To assemble, carefully cut along the long side of each Flamin’ Hot Fritos bag to create an opening for serving. Spoon the chili over the Fritos in each bag. Top with shredded cheddar cheese, spicy queso, sour cream, sliced pickled serrano peppers, pico de gallo, and cilantro, if desired.
  7. Enjoy immediately!
