3 dried ancho chiles, stemmed and seeded
2 dried guajillo or pasilla chiles, stemmed and seeded
3 cups beef stock
1 tablespoon vegetable or olive oil
1 pound fresh Mexican chorizo, casings removed or 1/3 pound center-cut bacon, finely chopped
1 1/2 pounds ground beef chuck (ask butcher for a coarse grind)
Kosher salt and coarse black pepper
1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon coriander (about a palmful)
1 tablespoon cumin (about a palmful)
1 1/2 teaspoons Mexican oregano (about 1/2 palmful)
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
Pinch cinnamon
4 cloves garlic, chopped
1 fresh red Fresno or jalapeno chile, seeded and chopped, or sliced with seeds for extra heat
1 large onion, chopped
Manchego or Monterey Jack cheese, shredded
12 ounces dark lager beer, such as Negra Modelo
3 tablespoons masa harina or corn meal
1 tablespoon honey
Cilantro leaves
Lime wedges
Minced raw onions
Pepitas
Pickled sliced jalapenos or chopped giardiniera mix
Sour cream
Crushed tortilla or other chips, such as Fritos

Steps:

  • Place the ancho and guajillo chiles in a small saucepot and cover with the stock. Bring to a low boil, reduce the heat to low and simmer gently 10 to 15 minutes. Puree and reserve.
  • Meanwhile, heat the oil in a Dutch oven over high heat. Add the chorizo and begin to render the fat. Pat the beef dry with paper towel and sprinkle with salt and black pepper before adding into the Dutch oven with the Worcestershire. Cook until a nice crusty brown develops on the beef (the salt helps make a nice crust on meat).

Pour in the beer to deglaze the pan, scraping up any brown bits that have accumulated on the bottom of the pan. Add the dried chili puree, masa harina and honey.
