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.

This dish is a great way to use up leftover rice. I usually make a big batch of rice on the weekend, and then use it to make this dish during the week.

This recipe is a great make-ahead meal. You can cook the chicken and sauce ahead of time, and then just reheat when you're ready to serve.

I've made this dish with different types of chicken, and it always comes out great. I've used boneless, skinless chicken breasts, thighs, and drumsticks.
