Rajas con Cerveza
Serving Size:  4

3 tbsps vegetable oil  
1 c white onions thinly sliced
salt  
1 lb poblano chiles, charred, peeled, stems, seeds removed, cut into strips
1 c strong beer 
6 oz Muenster cut into thin slices

Heat the oil in a deep, non-reactive medium skillet or shallow
flameproof casserole.  Add the onion, season with salt and cook
over moderate heat until translucent.

Add the chile strips, cover the pan and cook until just tender but
not soft, about 4 minutes.  Add the beer, increase the heat to high
and boil, uncovered until it is absorbed by the chiles, about 7
minutes.  Spread the slices of cheese over the chiles and heat
until melted.  Serve immediately.

In Mexico, Chihuahua or Asadero cheese would be used.  Serve with
tortillas, steamed or fried crisp.
