For a richer flavor, consider using beef broth instead of water. Adjust the amount of serrano chilies to your preference for heat. If you don't have beer on hand, you can substitute with more water or beef broth. Serve with warm flour tortillas, rice, and your favorite toppings like shredded cheese, sour cream, or guacamole.
