Rajas Con Cerveza (Poblanos and Beer) is a classic Mexican dish that is known for its spicy taste and creamy texture. It is made with roasted poblano peppers, sautéed onions in a savory beer sauce, and topped with melted cheese. This dish is perfect for lunch, as it is quick and easy to make, and can be served with rice or tortillas. The dish is best served hot and is a great way to add some spice to your lunch diet.

Instructions

1.	Roast the chiles over an open flame or griddle until they blister all over. Place them in a paper or plastic bag to allow them to steam and cool. Once they are cool enough to handle, remove the skin, stems, and seeds.
2.	Slice the chiles into thin strips.
3.	Heat the oil in a heavy skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and sauté until soft and translucent, approximately 5 minutes.
4.	Add the chile strips and toss well to coat with onion and oil.
5.	Pour in the beer and bring the mixture to a boil. Allow it to boil for a few minutes, until most of the beer has evaporated.
6.	Layer the sliced cheese over the top of the chiles.
7.	Cover the skillet with a lid and allow the cheese to melt, approximately 2-3 minutes.
8.	Remove the skillet from the heat and season with salt to taste. Serve hot.
