Ingredients

• 1 1/2 lbs ground beef
• 1 chipotle chile en adobo
• 1/2 medium yellow onion, diced
• 1/2 bell pepper, seeds and stem removed, diced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 15 oz canned tomato sauce
• 2 tsp oregano
• 2 tsp ground cumin
• 1 tsp smoked paprika
• 1/4 tsp ground allspice
• Pinch of cayenne
• 2 tsp Worcestershire sauce
• 12 oz beer, such as Mexican lager
• 2 Tbsp ketchup
• 1/2 cup cilantro, divided
• 1 Tbsp lime juice
• Salt and black pepper to taste
• 4-6 warm buns for serving
• Guacamole, cilantro, onions, sliced jalepeños and Cotija cheese for serving

Directions

1. In a large skillet, on medium-low heat, while stirring occasionally, cook the meat until browned, about 10 minutes. (If you like, you can drain the extra fat once the meet is browned.) Add the onions and diced bell pepper and cook until soft, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 30 more seconds.

2. Meanwhile, in a blender mix the tomato sauce, chipotle chile, oregano, ground cumin, smoked paprika, allspice, cayenne and Worcestershire sauce. Pour tomato salsa into the skillet along with the beer, ketchup and half of the cilantro. Stir until well combined.

3. Cook on medium-low heat uncovered for 15 minutes and then stir in the remaining cilantro and lime juice. Adjust seasonings and add salt and black pepper to taste.

4. Serve on warm buns with guacamole, cilantro, onion, jalapeño slices and Cotija cheese.
