download this recipe
1 pound dried pinto beans
1 tablespoon white vinegar
1 bottle Dos Equis beer
1/2 pound bacon, fried, crumbled and drained (reserve 2 TBSP of drippings for
finish)
1 white onion, diced
1 tablespoon safflower (or olive or vegetable)
1/2 dried Chipotle chile
2 tablespoons kosher salt
1 tablespoon ground cumin
1
tablespoon Mexican oregano
Finishing ingredients:
2 tablespoons bacon drippings 4 cloves garlic, minced 1 white onion, minced 3 Roma tomatoes, chopped 1 Jalapeno, minced 2 - 4 tablespoons Lava Sauce 1/2 teaspoon Mexican oregano 1/3 cup 100% Agave Gold Tequila
Garnish: Cilantro, chopped
Lime wedges
White onion, chopped
Sort beans, removing any foreign material, and rinse well.
Place rinsed beans in container, cover with water and add vinegar. Let beans
soak overnight then remove from water and rinse again.
Place beans, 6C fresh water, beer, bacon, onion, oil, chili,
garlic, salt, cumin, and oregano in large pot over medium high heat and bring
to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for a few hours until beans are
tender. Use a potato masher or fork to mash up just a few of the beans.
Return to pot. This will slightly thicken your bean liquid.
In a skillet, over medium heat, sauté the onion and garlic in the
reserved bacon drippings, for about 5 minutes or until lightly browned. Add
Lava Gourmet Hot Sauce and all other finishing ingredients and simmer for about
5 minutes. Add to pot of beans. Simmer for 1/2 hour more. Adjust seasoning.
Serve with cilantro, lime and onion on the side.

Lava Sirloin Burgers, with Mushrooms and Swiss
Yield: 4 servings
download this recipe 
1/4 cup chopped onion 1 1/3 pounds ground sirloin, 90 percent lean 3 tablespoons Lava Sauce Extra-virgin olive oil, for drizzling plus 1 tablespoon, 1 turn of the pan in a slow stream 4 crusty rolls, split 4 Portobello mushrooms, thinly sliced 1/4 teaspoon each, Coarse salt and pepper 4 slices Swiss cheese 1/4 pound baby spinach 2 vine ripe tomatoes, sliced 2 scallions, chopped 4 romaine leaves, optional
Preheat grill pan or large nonstick skillet. Sauté onions in
a small pan over moderate heat for 3 to 5 minutes until tender. Combine meat
with Lava Gourmet Hot Sauce, sautéed onion, salt and pepper. Form 4 large
patties. Drizzle patties with a touch of extra-virgin olive oil. Quick toast
your split rolls, then add burgers to grill pan or skillet. Grill or pan-fry
burgers 4 to 5 minutes on each side for medium well doneness.
Heat a small to medium nonstick skillet over medium high heat. Add
a little oil and mushrooms. Season mushrooms with a little salt and pepper and
sauté until just tender, about 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from heat.
Pile mushrooms on top of burgers just before you are ready to take them off the
grill or out of the pan. Fold each Swiss cheese slice in half and rest on top
of mushrooms. Place a loose tin foil tent over the burgers and turn heat off
under pan or grill. Allow the cheese to begin to melt down over mushroom and
burgers, about 2 to 3 minutes.
To assemble, place burgers with mushrooms and Swiss cheese on bun bottom. Place baby spinach on tops of buns. Set burger tops in place and serve with sliced vine ripe tomatoes, drizzled with oil, seasoned with salt and pepper and garnished with scallions. Pile onion rings and a dollop of Lava Sauce along side.

Lava Marinade and Grilling Sauce download
this recipe
Lava Gourmet Hot Sauce is a delicious marinade for all types of
meats all by itself. It adds a flavorful, spicy taste to ribs, chicken, beef,
steak, turkey, venison, quail or pork.
Place the meat in a container just large enough to hold it one side
on top of the other. Pour Lava Sauce generously over the meat, cover with
plastic wrap or aluminum foil and let marinate in the refrigerator for several
hours. Grill, bake, or broil.
If you don't have time to marinade the meat, pour Lava Sauce
directly on as you grill! It is terrific this way too.

Lava Chili
Yield: 6 to 8 servings download
this recipe
3 dried Ancho peppers, stemmed and seeded
2 tablespoons dried oregano
2 tablespoons sweet paprika
2 tablespoons whole coriander
1 tablespoon cumin seed
1 tablespoon chili powder
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 onions, chopped
3 pounds beef chuck, cut into 1-inch cubes
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
6 cloves garlic, chopped
1 canned Chipotle chile, chopped
1/2 jalapeno pepper, chopped
2 (28-ounce) cans whole tomatoes, hand crushed
1 cinnamon stick
1 teaspoon sugar
2 tablespoons masa harina (see Note below)
1/2 tablet Mexican chocolate (about 1 1/2 ounces)
Lava Gourmet Hot Sauce - as much as you can handle
Grated queso fresco, for garnish
Cilantro leaves, for garnish
Lime wedges, for garnish
In a small dry skillet over low heat add the Ancho peppers,
oregano, paprika, coriander, cumin, and chili powder. Cook until they begin to
smell, about 2 minutes. Put the spices into a spice mill or food processor and
grind until they are powdered. Set aside.
Heat a large heavy bottomed casserole over medium heat; add 3
tablespoons olive oil and the onions. Cook until the onions are soft and
beginning to caramelize, about 10 minutes. Pat the beef dry and season it with
salt and pepper. Add it to the pot and cook, stirring frequently, until it has
browned on all sides, about 10 minutes. Add 2 tablespoons of the toasted spice
mix, the garlic, Chipotle, jalapeno, tomatoes, cinnamon stick, and sugar.
Season with salt and stir well. Add some hot water until the meat is just
covered with liquid. Return to the boil, reduce to a simmer, cover, and cook
for 1 1/2 hours. Remove the meat and shred it with a fork. Return it to the
pot, stir in the masa harina and chocolate, and cook for another 10 minutes,
uncovered, to thicken. Add Lava Sauce to taste and heat level. Taste and
adjust seasoning. Serve with the queso fresco, cilantro, and lime for garnish.
Note: Masa harina is the traditional dough used to make tortillas.
The Spanish term "masa" means dough and is made with sun-or fire-dried corn
kernels that have been cooked in lime water. The wet corn is then ground into
masa which becomes masa harina or literally dough flour. It is sold
in many chain supermarkets and all Mexican groceries. It is not at all the same
as fine-ground corn meal, in either taste or application. Flour can be
substituted if need be, but use slightly less.
