Time 1h50m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 19

4 cups Chili Sans Beans, recipe follows, or your favorite prepared chili
4 Chicago-style hot tamales (or 4 prepared pork, chicken or beef tamales), usually found in the freezer section
12 sport peppers, chopped
1/4 white onion, chopped
4 hot dog buns
1 1/2 cups shredded Manchego
2 small bags corn chips, such as Fritos, crushed
1 teaspoon vegetable oil
1 1/2 pounds ground sirloin
1 pound Mexican-style chorizo,such as El Supremo brand
1 onion, diced
1 to 2 tablespoons chili powder
1 to 2 tablespoons ground cumin
1 teaspoon paprika
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 stout beer
1 tablespoon hot sauce
One 14.5-ounce can crushed tomatoes
1 cup chicken stock

Steps:

  • Heat the Chili Sans Beans in a small saucepot until it is simmering, about 5 minutes.
  • Heat up the tamales using a steamer basket set over a pot of simmering water, until they are warmed through, about 10 minutes. (Or follow the package directions of the tamale you use.)
  • In a small bowl, combine the sport peppers and chopped onion.
  • For the sandwich build: Place a sprinkling of the onions and sport peppers along the bottom of the buns. Remove the husks of the tamales. Place the tamales in the buns and top with the Manchego. Then ladle a small amount of chili on top of that! Top with the remaining sport peppers and onions and sprinkle with the corn chips. Take a bite and instantly blog about how surprisingly amazing this combination of ingredients is.
  • In a large Dutch oven, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the beef and chorizo and smoosh down. Start breaking up the chunks with a wooden spoon and let sear until the beef is no longer pink, about 5 minutes.
  • Remove the meat from the pot and leave the fat. Then add the onions, chili powder, cumin, paprika and season with salt and pepper. Cook until the onions are soft, 7 to 8 minutes. Deglaze with the beer. Cook until the alcohol smell subsides, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the hot sauce, tomatoes, stock and the reserved meat. Simmer until thickened, stirring frequently, about 20 minutes. Adjust seasoning.

Tips:

  • Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all your ingredients and tools ready. This will help you stay organized and avoid scrambling around in the kitchen.
  • Use fresh ingredients: Fresh ingredients will always give you the best flavor. If possible, try to buy your ingredients from a local farmer's market or organic grocery store.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment: Don't be afraid to try new recipes and experiment with different flavors. Cooking is a creative process, so have fun with it!
  • Taste as you go: As you're cooking, taste your food to make sure it's seasoned correctly. This will help you avoid over- or under-seasoning your dish.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When you're cooking meat or vegetables, don't overcrowd the pan. This will prevent them from cooking evenly and will make them more likely to stick.
  • Use the right tools: The right tools can make a big difference in the outcome of your dish. Make sure you have a good set of knives, pots, pans, and other essential kitchen tools.
  • Clean as you go: As you're cooking, clean up any messes as you go. This will help you keep your kitchen clean and organized, and it will also make it easier to find what you need.

Cooking is a skill that anyone can learn with a little practice. By following these tips, you can create delicious meals that your family and friends will love. So get in the kitchen and start cooking!
