Ingredients

  • 2 pounds heirloom tomatoes
  • 5-6 serranos - jalapenos are good here too, or any other peppers you have
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 1 teaspoon taco seasoning
  • 2 tablespoons cilantro
  • Juice from 1 lime
  • 1 Mexican beer – we used Sol
  • 1 lime wedge for rimming the glass

Instructions

  • Heat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Clean and dry your tomatoes and chili peppers. Slice the tomatoes and peppers in half lengthwise and set them onto lighly oiled baking sheets, along with the garlic cloves.
  • Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the pepper skins char. Remove from heat. Once cooled enough, remove the skins from the tomatoes and peppers. Set them into a food processor.
  • Squeeze garlic from their skins and into the food processor they go.
  • Process until mixed well.
  • Strain the mixture, or better yet, use a food mill like we did. You will get a nice and consistent juice.
  • In bowl with strained juice, add taco seasoning, cilantro and juice from the lime. Use an immersion blender to process or set into a food processor. Process until nice and smooth. Strain if desired and set into refrigerator to chill.
  • Put some taco seasoning on a small plate. With two pint glasses, rub the rims with a lime wedge. Dip the rims of two glasses into the seasoning to coat.
  • Pour 1 cup of juice into each glass.
  • Pour ½ the Mexican beer into each glass.
  • Stir gently and serve.
