- 1 poblano chile
- 1/2 pound block American cheese from the deli, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
- 1/2 pound sharp cheddar cheese, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
- 2 teaspoons cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1/2 pound freshly ground beef chuck
- Kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1 cup canned diced tomatoes, drained
- 5 ounces evaporated milk
- 1 tablespoons hot sauce (like Frank's)
- 4 scallions, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons finely chopped cilantro leaves
- Place chile directly over flame of a gas burner (no pan), or on a rimmed baking sheet under the broiler. Cook, turning occasionally until completely blackened, about 4 minutes on the burner or 8 minutes under the broiler. Place roasted chiles in a bowl and cover with a plate. Let rest for 5 minutes. Peel under cool running water and discard stem and seeds. Chop finely and set aside.
- Toss cheeses with cornstarch in large bowl until evenly coated.
- Heat oil in medium saucepan over medium high heat until shimmering. Add ground chuck and cook, stirring occasionally until no longer pink, about 5 minutes. Add cumin and pepper flakes and cook, stirring constantly until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
- Add tomatoes, poblanos, and milk and stir to combine. Bring mixture to a boil, reduce heat to low, and add cheese. Cook, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon until cheese is completely melted and sauce is smooth. Stir in Frank's, scallions, and cilantro. Serve immediately with crackers, vegetables, and tortilla chips.
