- 15 MINUTES LATER: add the chocolate and beer, and let it simmer for 10 minutes over medium heat. Don’t cover the pan now, as the liquid needs to evaporate.
- Add the cream cheese to a bowl, add water and mix with a fork. Set aside.
- Cut the avocado into small slices
- Remove the bay leaves from the pot.
- PLATING: Add the rice to a plate, then add the sauce. Place the cream cheese in the center, then arrange the avocado slices, tortilla chips, and pickled onions in a circle around it. Top with sesame seeds and coriander.
Notes
Alcohol evaporates when cooking, it is getting less the longer you boil it. But it can take a few hours to fully evaporate. Therefore, I recommend using alcohol-free beer if you are preparing this recipe for those who do not consume alcohol.
