• Reduce heat to medium and cook the onion, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned, 5-6 minutes. Add the cumin, chili powder, and garlic and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Sprinkle with flour and cook, stirring, until the flour is lightly browned, 1 minute.
Step 3
• Pour in the beer and add the canned tomatoes and chili peppers, bring to a boil, and simmer for 2 minutes. Gradually whisk in the milk and simmer until thickened, about 2 minutes.
Step 4
